Stored at Collinwood

February 15, 2023

New York Central 4106, 4017, and two other E7 passenger diesels form an E7B/E7A/E7B/E7B lash-up of stored units at Collinwood Yard in Cleveland. The image was made somewhere between 1967-1969. Behind them appears to be a damaged EMD Geep.

Pennsy Two for Tuesday

December 20, 2022

Here are a pair of Pennsylvania Railroad images for two for Tuesday. In the top image E7A No. 4212 is in the Penn Central scrap line in East Altoona, Pennsylvania, in 1969 or 1970.

In the bottom image, cabin car No. 477628 was photographed most likely in 1966 or 1967. Amazingly, it still had a Trainphone antenna. There is a good chance that this photo was taken through a car window as we passed the PRR yard in Dennison.

June 23, 2021

It was 52 years ago that the photographer and a group of friends found Pennsylvania Railroad E7A No. 4223 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on May 30, 1969. The unit already has its new Penn Central roster number.

A New York Central E7A in Painesville

July 30, 2020

We’re in Painesville along the New York Central — or is is Penn Central now? — sometime in the time frame of 1967 to 1969.

When this image was made, it sure looked like a New York Central scene with EMD E7A No. 4030 leading a train.
