Neat pictures, I caught one of those blue GP-9s on a siding in Muncie Indiana in the early 80's. The N&W had purchased some in the liquidation and it was in MoW service.

...it's a horrible picture, not even sure where it's at. As for street running, the CSX (former Monon) ran right through Downtown Lafayette up until they rebuilt a bypass of the city that rerouted it along the river. Street running still exist not far from where I live for about 5 or 6 blocks in Elwood IN. You can see street running in Kentucky on "Virtual Railfan" on Youtube. watch it all the time. People seem oblivious to the dangers involved.
