Looking rather bland is Port Harbor Railroad GP40 4615 in Granite City, Illinois, on October 4th, 2014. Just the previous day, this engine was fully lettered - but it had all been removed by the afternoon of the 4th. Built in January 1967 as Milwaukee Road 162, this engine was later renumbered MILW 2035. When the eastern end of the Milwaukee became part of the Soo Line, this engine was SOO 2035. The Soo, of course, became part of the Canadian Pacific and was renumbered CP 4615. (The smoke in the background is not from the locomotive.) Photographed on railroad property with permission and full PPE. (To see the locomotive as it appeared with full lettering, click HERE.)
