Re: [CBQ] Pile driver

That is a GE U-boat behind the pile driver. Either a U23C, U25C, U28C or U30C. Someone that knows their GEs better than me might be able to pinpoint the exact model.

There’s a photo on eBay of pile driver 204619 at

J64 CB&Q Burlington Route OPERATING STEAM POWER Pile Driver 1969 Original Slide! | eBay

I’ve enlarged the cab to identify its number and found that rather unusual numerals have been used. Looking through my photos, I see that a wide range of letter and numbering styles were used for pile drivers but I can’t recollect seeing this style before.

And if you are looking at the photo on-line, any suggestions for the red object behind and to the left of the pile driver? It looks like a cab with a Burlington Route herald underneath but the windows appesar to be too wide.
