EL RENO OK August 15 1983 -- From the dark side. CRIP GP7 1504 sits at the ready in the El Reno shops area. The 1504 was built in May 1952 (s/n 16343) for Pittsburgh and Lake Erie as PLE 5716 and was renumbered PLE 1520. It was acquired by the Monongahela Railroad as MGA 1504. It was leased to the North Central Texas as NCTR 1504. After its return to the Monongahela it was leased to the Rock Island trustee as CRIP 1504 where it was used to clean up Rock Island property after the line's shutdown. It was wrecked and scrapped in late 1985. This unique paint scheme was said to be applied at the El Reno OK paint shop by the trustee's crew.
