Tiger stripes and a fuel tender.

Tiger stripes and a fuel tender.

GP50(?) 3161 heads West on the old CB&Q. Dubbed the race track for good reason, this stretch of railroad sees both freight and Commuter traffic in high volumes. The train is about to pass the LaGrange depot.
Nice consist. This is one scheme I never got to film, unfortunately. I've seen many BN GP50'S in my time, but they had all been repainted in the new white face scheme or still in the old regular BN cascade green paint. The only tiger stripe unit I ever saw was at Galesburg, Illinois, which was one of the SD60'S BN had, but I couldn't get a good shot of it, because it was blocked by alot of other units in the service center at BN'S Galesburg Yard

Great photo, Raildog! It's really nice to see photos from the Race Track, in the 90's. Thanks for sharing.
