Ugly looking things those are. I'm glad they only stay in that yard!

Nice shot. Any idea on the heritage of these units? Is the GP part of the 1969 C&O order?

Nice shot and catch! To bad the GP (5A) doesn't have a cab.

There is a Phone book like Operating Cab where the Right Front Steps of the locomotive (5A) should be, and also where the Left Rear Steps on Slug (5C) should be. There are a couple sets of these that are used to pull the Coal Hoppers through the rotary dumpers for the Coal Pier.

Now THAT is different!!!!! The 5A unit looks to have been a GP39 (-2?) at one time.....
