CRI&P GP35 319 at Des Moines, Iowa on June 7, 1975, photographer unknown, Chuck Zeiler collection. This locomotive was built in June 1965 (c/n 30304) on EMD Order 7803. The photographer noted everything except his name. The slide is marked: 9455 6-7-65 2:15 PM Short Line Yd. Des Moines, IA RI #59 (319, 194, 327, UP 722B, 856, 812). The Rock Island swapped carbody doors freely during maintenance, this one acquiring the letter A from another unit, perhaps a candidate for one of the shortest corporate names applied to a locomotive. |
