[CBQ] Ex-CB&Q GP30 on BNSF Northtown Dead Line

["Tom Mack via groups.io" <thommack=yahoo.com@groups.io>]

I ran across a video of the current BNSF Northtown, MN dead line, and at 3:55 in the video is BNSF 2832 which I show to former CB&Q GP30 976. It looks in pretty good shape and also still has the original 48"-36"-48" radiator fan arrangement. I'm not sure if this unit is still running, but either way, it would be awesome to see a former CB&Q GP30 preserved and back in Chinese Red. Does anyone at the BRHS know anything about saving historic equipment, perhaps to IRM as they are already putting together a nice CB&Q diesel collection. Imagine seeing a photo freight at IRM of a CB&Q SD24, GP30, and U28B all in Chinese Red! That is also a very prototypical consist that you might have seen on the Q, especially between Chicago and Mpls-StP. Seems to me this is something the BRHS might want to get behind, especially with former CB&Q GP30 976 just up the road right now at Northtown.

Go to 3:55 in the video to see BNSF 2832: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6xlJvrmLec
