The Cotton Belt leased a number of both B&O and C&O GP30s and GP35s during a power shortage in 1972-1973. I was fortunate to be at a Cotton Belt Division point during this time frame and saw many of these units in service. This particular photo is of a C&O GP30 being used on the Commerce- Greenville Dodger train. Dodger is another word for local train as it has to dodge around the mainline to stay away from the other trains. I got a cab ride in a C&O GP30 from a friendly engineer on that same train in the Fall of 1972.

Here is a C&O GP35 and a C&O GP30 laying over at Commerce. They will go out later on train #17 for Fort Worth.
