Q GP30s at Rochelle

By Brian Schmidt | February 27, 2024

Four red-and-gray diesels pull a freight through an interlocking on a clear winter day — A quartet of Chicago, Burlington & Quincy diesels led by Electro-Motive Division GP30 no. 957 leads a manifest freight across the diamonds at Rochelle, Ill., in December 1966. What kind of cars would be in a model of such a train depends on your layout’s industries and era. Mike McBride photo
