Photo shot by my Dad, Jay Thomson, at Gibsland, LA in June 1983
On June 1, 1983 Dad found Union Pacific GP9 230 in the L&NW yard at Gibsland, Louisiana. This unit suffered an electrical fire in early 1980 and was traded to GE. GE then sold it as-is to L&NW, who used it for parts before scrapping it. It never carried an L&NW number or reporting mark.
I have no idea why "AT&SF" is stenciled on the frame.

The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, locally known as the "Toy Train", is a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge railway that runs between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling (India). It is still operated by vintage British-built B Class steam locomotives. Operations between Siliguri and Kurseong have been temporarily suspended since 2010 following a Landslide at Tindharia (view photos of the landslide).
