Good shooting boys.

The loco in the lower right corner of this photo is also an electric engine. At least in these photos very little of any electric power supply for these electric locomotives remains.

A very impressive slice of global history. Thanks for sharing!

Posted the day following Memorial Day here in America. Lest we forget - thanks Gianfranco

The two electric locos on the right are both E428 class. The one in the foreground is a first series with the box like front, the one behind it has the streamlimed front and is from the 3rd series. Introduced between 1934 and 1943, all withdrawn by 1988. Several have been preserved. Thanks for sharing these photos Gianfranco, a great piece of history.

It looks like a whole lineup of electrics at the right. Imagine having to repair all this damage, it looks daunting to say the least. Amazingly, that is just what repair crews did. And they did it under extremely difficult circumstances. These unsung hero's of railroading deserve more recognition.
