Peoria & Eastern 5624 sits at the Penn Central Hillsboro IL terminal on a gray November day in 1974. NYC subsidiary P&E had 15 GP7s, all numbered within its parent's system and delivered in the NYC "Lightning Stripe" scheme. By the mid-1970s most were in overall black with a P&E herald on the cab and PC logos on the ends. Several, including 5624 here, received Penn Central markings on the hood as well. |
