Charlie,
That is a LOT of smoke.
Why is it not common anymore? I assume they were using dynamic braking as well?

9/22/1977. Westbound along New Waterford Ohio) Road. A perfect example of a well worn but still in service F7. I like the looks and the details on this one. Someone please model it.

NS 39G started its approach to the Delair Bridge then stopped. The engineer made an adjustment, and they continued on.
