All of the images shown above were made on May 30, 1968, in Kent.
The tracks shown were originally the Conotton Valley then became part of the original Wheeling & Lake Erie. Over the years they were merged into the Nickel Plate Road and then the Norfolk & Western.
Today, they make up the Cleveland Subdivision of the modern W&LE.
The series was made in several locations and feature the former passenger station and the bridge over the Baltimore & Ohio.
N&W No. 2496, is a GP9 while No. 2570 is an Alco RS11. Both were built for the NKP.
