When was the last time you recall seeing a high nose unit? This GP9 has found a nice "retirement" job, working as the High Plains Co-Op switcher in Kimball, NE. The GP9 started life as Pennsylvania Railroad #7011, built in 1955. It went through the New York Central merger and became Penn Central #7011. When Penn Central went belly up and Conrail was former, this guy survived and became Conrail #7011 and was then renumbered to Conrail #7516. It was finally retired and purchased by High Plains Co-Op.

I found some pictures of the unit in previous lifes on Railroad Picture Archives. Here are some links:

One of many, many grain elevators that can be found across the fruited plain, High Plains Co-Op has a large elevator in Kimball, NE. They even have an old GP9 to shuffle covered hoppers around the elevator!
