Old Upton Road
Grafton and Upton train GU1 has three units and only two cars as they roll south on this twisting and undulating interurban style route cutting through the fields delineated by ancient stone walls approaching the Old Upton Road grade crossing at MP 4.5. MP15ACs 1160 and 1191 (blt. Oct. 1977 and Feb. 1978 as SCL 4221 and 4010 respectively) bracket GP9R 1751 (blt. Nov. 1958 as a GP9 for the GTW numbered 4932). The lead unit still wears its patched CSXT blue and yellow while the two trailing units are dressed in the new black and orange livery the railroad has recently adopted.
