Look for another video or photo showing a GP-30 leading a road train after the mid 70's. They were notoriously slippery and wound up as trailing units in later years. The siding here went to the Bureau of Standards.
Metropoltian Grove looks alot different today, the area on the right (formerly a field) is now going to be a business park. The siding on the left hasn't been used and years, and was finally ripped out a couple of years ago. Cool safety caboose!-Jeffrey

Since this was filmed in 1983 did these GP30s still have their 567D3 engines?
