In the 1980's Seaboard System and early CSX used GE B30-7's on there intermodal trains. These locomotives were given a nickname of TOTE Boats, a L&N term for Trailer on Train Express.
This is southbound R-133 in Cincinnati, Ohio on May 4, 1986. This train is on the north approach of C&O's Ohio River Bridge. To the right is MD Cabin which controlled the crossovers on the north approach. In the background is Southern Railways Ohio River Bridge. I photographed this image from the southbound lane of I-75's Ohio River Bridge.

Street View, as expected, the tower is now gone.
