Milw GP9/GP20 Deval

Rebuilt Milwaukee GP9 987 (often called a GP20, it has an EMD nameplate to make the claim) takes the Ford Fast over the Soo Line diamonds at Deval in Des Plaines, Ill. on June 30, 1972. The trailing units are 990 and 989. The rebuilt GP9s caused quite a stir at the Bensenville engine house when they first showed up. This train normally rated GP40s.
