South end power |
| Description: |
The train operates pull-pull, making it much easier to change direction at the end of the run. Since they run on the M&NA at the discretion of their dispatcher, the train can go either way from Branson, depending on traffic, making this arrangement especially helpful. The power on the south end is a GP 30, probably the only place in America you can ride behind one. |

The other power for the Branson Scenic is this GP 30, not in the role it was accustomed to in its regular service life. |

Empties and a GP 30 |
| Description: |
Unlike todays constant parade of six axle monsters, the 1980s found all manner of power on coal trains. Though good to see, it was not a total surprise to find a GP 30 on this 142 car empty coal train headed back to the mines. |

Even GP 30s |
| Description: |
Chessies contribution to the NYSW during this period was mostly road power on stack trains-not surprising since they owned Sea Land at the time. The trains came off the ex B&O at Buffalo, and the power usually ran through to Jersey. Anything could show up, though it was typically GP 40s, but other power would make an appearance, such as this GP 30 leading HAN 2 taking the Buffalo Runner at QD, as seen from the Chenango St overpass. |
