"GN" For "Gone Now"?
Title:  "GN" For "Gone Now"?
Description:  Three more veteran units stored north of the University Avenue bridge sit in Northtown awaiting their fate. I will miss these switchers. I have fond memories of them at Union and Midway yards in happier times. The snowplow apparently still has a future, though, as it still retains its BN reporting mark.
