EL Monday: An F7A in Akron

It is 1967-1970 in Akron. Westbound Erie Lackawanna F3A No. 7091 has stopped, and I was very careful as I took this scenic photo.

The bottom image is the same train only the image has been cropped, which gives it a different look and feel from the original photograph.

The train is on the Voris Street crossing and looks like it is backing into McCoy Street Yard.

How strange to think in a few years Conrail would change all this. The 7091 was built for the Erie Railroad in February 1949.
