McDoel Yard Power
We’re on the Louisville & Nashville, former Monon, in Bloomington, Indiana. The yard and local power is interesting today: an Alco RS36, number 913, built in 1963, and EMD GP18, number 900, built in 1960.
Please note the one-piece windshield on the latter unit. This indicates an early low-nose model on both GE and EMD models; it would soon be split into two to lower replacement costs.
