Excellent Capture. The BN Green and the green on the buildings compliments each other very well. The skyline in the background and a river of cab unit power, very nice.

What a cool shot. In 1988, this was an everyday occurrence. With the realization that everything eventually goes away, and new power would have to replace these venerable units sooner or later, I can't imagine the current scene has anywhere near the charm and character of this photo. The elegant lines of an E unit are unmatched. A plus is the plug for the Burlington at the top of the adjacent building. Like many such photos, this scene wasn't a big deal at the time, but it's a classic now. Home page 05-24-2019
