This September 1978 photo of a short eastbound TV train is a good example of things that are gone. No more caboose, no more signal bridge, and containers have pretty much replaced trailers. [attachment=39156]

September, 1978. West Bridgewater, Pa. [attachment=39158]The 77 was on the NCIR for a time and I did run it several times. [attachment=39159]It is still operating on the Youngstown and Southeastern Railroad that is near me. [attachment=39160]Charlie

Was the 77 a ex QNSL unit Charlie?

C A R, it was built in 1954 for the Bangor and Aroostook. I can't see any reference to it ever being on the QNSL.

September 28, 1980. The Chessie system Safety Express along the Ohio River near Hannibal. [attachment=39162]

That's some ugly-looking smoke Charlie...I wonder what they're using for fuel. The brown colour, to me, at least, suggests maybe cow-pies or horse-buns. Misngth

Is that a Chessie Berk in charge there, or a loaner from the Nickel Plate?

The "77" proves that the old things aren't ALL gone!

Hi Wayne.
That locomotive is a Greenbrier class C&O locomotive, and the smoke has the golden glow because it was taken at sunset.

Conrail's MI-21 at Millville, NJ, 9/28/16.

This is an interesting picture taken at Summit cut late September, 1978. The locomotive is on a work train. Take note of the details, especially the paint on the handrails. Nice weathering job but the paint isn't prototype Goldth

A lot more use on the conductors side for sure. That gondola behind the loco looks like it has a few miles on it as well

Yesterdays offering also had 2 different colors of hand rails. Today I have for your viewing pleasure a lone GP7 at the Astabula, Ohio Ore Docks. September, 1978.[attachment=39167]
