Tim Darnell General Great album & photos! 1/23/2016 8:54:38 PM
TERRENCE ROBLE General Nice find even for 1977! 1/23/2016 11:03:57 PM
Alan Page General Thanks so much, Tim and Terrence! After 8 years of PC before Conrail, yes I was surprised to still see NYC paint schemes! That made this E-unit special. I saw a funeral train in Dec. '76 with a couple ex-PRR E-7's in Tuscan red, but the PRR was gone and the paint was shot. There was a NYC E-7B though, too, and it's paint was still pretty decent. With no shortage of PC black paint, I wonder what was special to PC to keep the old NYC units in their original paint? 1/24/2016 7:43:22 AM
Mike Maskel General GREAT SHOT 1/24/2016 11:45:14 AM
Alan Page General Thanks, Mike. There was not much room in the tightly packed deadlines, but this E-unit was poised off by itself just waiting for pictures. 1/24/2016 1:39:23 PM
