the question is not what, but where.

these are the C30-7s that got sent down to Brazil.  they might have different gauge trucks,but the look the same to me.

Dr EMD

Very good.

The GE are in Brazil, running on broad gauge track (5 foot, 3 inches). The new owners pressed them into service with a paint job! It's the pre-merged BNSF or plain old BN.

The floor is yours CAB IV!

That's a Pennsy P-5a box cab - (unmodified version)  built in the early 1930"s.

I don't have a pix.  Anyone else??

This is another GE!

One of the General Electric built 20 in 1932 of the P-5a locomotives (road numbers 4755 through 4774) This looks like 4769 in the batch.

Guilford Guy : I think you may have it right.

LAJ No. 2571, was a CF7, built by Electro-Motive in June 1949.

It has had a chequered history first as #7746 with Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe, retired on November 11, 1973: Rebuilt at Cleburne, in May 1973. Finally sold to LAJ taking their No. 2571.
