Missouri Pacific Railroad GP7 134 at McCook, Illinois on an unknown day in August 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 134 was built as StLB&M GP7 4119 in July 1950 (c/n 11552), renumbered to MP 134 an an unknown date, retired in August 1979 and is seen here at Pielet Brothers scrap yard. Note the extra front numberboard, for which I have no explanation. However I received a comment by Joseph Yarbrough as follows -
On the MoPac, a select few GP7's had a "crew cab". These units were bought originally by the Texas & Pacific and Gulf Coast Lines. Outwardly they looked like any regular Geep with the exception that the crew-cabs were modified with an extra set of number board cut-out windows that were exactly the same size as the number boards located just below the usual number boards on the short hood/nose. Behind the windows inside the cab sat a spare seat... right beside the typical toilet. The "crew-cab" GP7s used by I-GN and STLB&M (series 4116-4123) were equipped with crew-cabs (modified circa 1953): 4117, 4119, 4120, 4122, and 4123. Since no other unit's received the crew cab, it's speculated that this modification may have been a "Texas thing" for the brakeman to ride inside the unit.
I don't know what the box behind the cab on this side was for. Anyone know, please leave a comment.

Wearing some interesting graffiti, MP 705777 sits in West Chicago yard. This is a 2980 cu. ft. car built in July 1981.

Screw it, i'll throw this one in as well...
East Yorkshire seem to have quite a good relationship with Manchester based independant, MP Travel.
MP Travel seem to own quite a bit of ex EYMS stock, with them taking ownership of an ex EYMS primsa, ALX300 and now a president?
This now is in what i'm guessing is MP Travel standard, and honestly from the rear, it suits the president!
Seen probably near enough done from paints, is ex EY, now MP Travel plaxton president B7TL YY52LCK (ex EYMS 670)

Vandaag maakte de Crew 2454 met de MP 3029 een rondrit door Nederland.
Er werden die verse plaatsen doorkruist en hier zien de zeer mooie MP 3029 bij de Cleenhorsterweg in Putten aan de kant gaan op het zijspoor om zo de IC uit Zwolle voor te laten gaan.
Hij is onderweg vanuit Hoogeveen naar Rotterdam waar hij zijn standplaats voorlopig heeft.
Vanaf 1994 gaan enkele motorpostrijtuigen rijden voor NS Cargo. Zij gaan het sternet in het werkplaatsvervoer rijden tussen de hoofdwerkplaatsen en lijnwerkplaatsen.
Met ingang van 20 maart 1995 werden een aantal motorposten ingezet in het werkplaatsvervoer. Zij reden hierbij treinen tussen de verschillende onderhoudsbedrijven en revisiebedrijven van de NS. Met deze treinen worden onderdelen in gesloten wagens vervoerd, maar ook rijtuigen voor onderhoud worden hiermee overgebracht.
In de nacht van 26 op 27 juli 1996 wordt het EKP Roosendaal gesloten. Hiermee verminderd de behoefte aan mP's. Op 1 juni 1997 wordt het vervoer van post per spoor beëindigd. Vanaf 20 mei 1997 rijdt echter al de post per vrachtwagen. De laatste 10 dagen rijden de treinen leeg door het land ten behoeve van de omloop die nog geldt tot de wisseling van de dienstregeling. Op 30 juni 1997 worden 16 motorpostrijtuigen aan de kant gezet.
De MP 3029 werd eind 2019 overgenomen door de Stichting 2454 Crew.
De MP 3029 is tot aan begin 2021 gecompleteerd en in PTT Post-kleurstelling gebracht.
Zorionak adrian!
