Smokers to the End
Seeing as I've been on a bit of a U-boat binge today I'll post this view of LS&I 2501(the last operating U25C in the US at the time) leading the 7AM Hill along with 2302 and 2404 crossing Morgan trestle on July 11, 1989. As far as I know the rest of the railroad had been taken over by ex BN U30C's by this date leaving this set of power that had been working the dock job as the last of the early LS&I units running(minus the Munising assigned RS3). Two of the ex BN's had been sent down to work the dock and this was likely this trios final trip. All the other RSD15's had already been stored at Eagle Mills and I'm pretty sure the rest of the U23C's were also on this day. There was a serious flaw in the slide in the upper right that I tried to fix best I could to share a final view of these units in action...thanks Kodak, you couldn't just screw up some random SD40-2 shot from 1989 lol.
