Texas & Pacific E8A 30 |
| Description: |
In this undated photo from the early 1960’s, Texas & Pacific E8A 30 and an unidentified F7B were parked on a ready track at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. At this time, the MP-TP had recently introduced an all-blue paint scheme and a unified numbering system. The 30 was originally T&P 2010, the first of eight T&P E8A units; while the F7B was one of four such T&P units (881B-884B) equipped with steam generators and high-speed (77 MPH) gearing. These locomotives had arrived here in the morning on the LOUISIANA EAGLE, the overnight train from Fort Worth, and would be returning west that evening. F7’s were frequently used on this train until they were replaced by GP7’s. (date of photo unknown) |

D&RGW F7 5654 |
| Description: |
D&RGW F7 5654 and T&P E8 33 at Denver Union Station on August 20, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 5654 was built in June 1950 (c/n 11406) on EMD Order 6093, sold to Alaska Railroad during May 1970, becoming ARR 1530, was wrecked in 1975, rebuilt in 1976, retired in 1986, sent to Mountain Diesel and scrapped during 1990. Here's a quote from Joseph A. Strapac's book, Rio Grande Diesels - Vol. 1: Rio Grande passenger trains #3 and #4 were in actuality a contract service for the Missouri Pacific so that its 'Colorado Eagle' train could reach Denver, rather than terminate with the MP freight trains in Pueblo, Colorado. Ready for its afternoon departure to Saint Louis, the seven car train will go out on August 20, 1964 behind D&RGW 5654 and Texas & Pacific's 1951-vintage E8 33." Texas & Pacific's E8 33 was built in August 1951 as number 2013 (c/n 14558) on EMD Order 6104, renumbered around 1961 as 33 to fit into MP's scheme, retired in March 1970 and traded to EMD for SD40's. |
