GP40 127, with GP40s 126 and 122 at Alexandria, mid 80s southbound on Track 1 with general freight. The lack of logo on the end of the long hood
of the 126 and 122, along with the blue top of the low nose on the 127 suggests in is prior to 1987-88.

|
GP35 131, GP 40-2 143 and another geep at Alexandria in Snow, southbound on Track 1 with mixed freight, looks to be winter 1987-1988, between the loco schemes,
