We shot this "because it was there" as we were documenting the end of the EL MU's. Little did we think, then, that the U-boats would be gone, all too soon.
Railfan Weekend at Steamtown in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Last Run of New Jersey Transit U34CH 4166; it was retired from service after this trip.
There was a water shortage in the New York City area in 1965, and a ban on washing cars...apparently it didn't apply to observation cars!
Eastbound coming out of the sunset; sun *just* came out between the clouds in time!
February of '83 saw 23'' of snow. Here is the scene at Dover the day after with U-boats knee deep.
Last run of ex-EL MU's to Gladstone heads, appropriately, into the sunset.
Restored Erie E8 (on a Fan Trip) poses with Stourbridge BL-2.
A rare SD45-2 leads this lengthy eastbound mixed freight.
Three days before Christmas, and CSX is handing out presents: an ex-Erie Lackawanna SD leading a leaser in BNSF colors on a sunny, snow covered day.
Conrail BUOI (Buffalo-Oak Island Yard) passes beneath the "classic" former Erie RR signal bridge at Rutherford Jct.
Bi-Centennial unit, went to NJ DOT shortly after
A pleasant find. Phoebe Snow had been killed off in 1966, but the observations occasionally ventured out of storage. The next summer they would go the LIRR. Honeywell Pentax H1a; Kodachrome
This eastbound has obviously seen a little more snow than lingers on the ground here in New Jersey. Honeywell Pentax H1a; Kodachrome
