Western Pacific EMD GP-40 Bicentenial unit # 1776. Circa mid 1970's. From the internet.

I have happy memorys growing up as a Teenager during the 1970's.

One of My all time favorite memorys from this decade, was the American Revolutionary War and signing of the Declaration of Independence Bicentenial celebration.

This was a colorful period here in the United States, as anything from Transit buses, Railroad locomotives, Municipal Public Service vechicles, Fire hydrants and even back alley garages were painted in proud American Patriotic colors and murals.

The Western Pacific and many other North American railroads, had at least one or two diesel locomotives or cabooses in commemorative Bicentenial color schemes.

I still love 1976! Yeah....it's over. But I was 14 and loving it just the same.

Thanks.
