    GP35 SLSF ???


    GP35 SLSF ???

    An unidentified number black and yellow GP35 leads an unidentified number F unit.

    Note the oncoming passenger train, it looks to me like a Chicago, Burlington and Quincy (CB&Q) E-unit.

    Location is unknown, but is probably in Kansas.

    Photographer unknown.

    Slide is dated August 1966.

    Moderater: Taken at 19th Street Yard, Kansas City, MO.
    RRT

    Edit 3/3/2024: The GP35 is one of the units from first order SLSF 700-716.

    This group of units was equipped with larger 3000 gallon fuel tanks that forced the the main air reservoirs up onto the long hood roof.

    Note to the right of the CB&Q passenger train, on the horizon line, through the car wash rack, the three level West 12th Street viaduct.

    The viaduct leads from downtown Kansas City into the West Bottoms commercial, industrial and warehouse district.

    The West Bottoms is bordered on the north by the Missouri River. The bottoms is flanked on the east by the river bluff with the downtown business core and the west by the Kansas River.
