Hello,
can anybody tell me when Rock Island stopped using the legendary GP9-F7B-F7B-F7B-GP9 lashup that was mainly used on the Lafayette coal train?
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.railpictures.net/photo/315776/">http://www.railpictures.net/photo/315776/</a><!-- m -->
I found some Pictures stating that in 1974 the traction still existed. It was used to pull other freight trains, too.
But I cannot find any information of how long the consist existed. As I model 1979 I´d like to know if it still existed then.
Please help!
Regards
Stephan
