TP&W GP20 #2012 - Tr 23 - Mapleton IL - Nov 8, 1995

TP&W Kodachrome: A trio of Toledo, Peoria & Western GP20’s is leaning into a sweeping curve as it heads its train westward up and out of the Illinois River valley. When the Santa Fe spun off the reincarnated TP&W in 1989, the railroad’s roster included 19 ex-ATSF GP20's. Among these were several in the “Kodachrome” paint scheme of the failed ATSF-SP merger. As evidenced by this photograph, some lasted several years in the Kodachrome paint scheme. The second GP20 is still in its original ATSF blue and yellow scheme, while the trailing unit is in TP&W’s New York Central inspired lightning stripe scheme.
