Charlie,
interesting string of power. SW1500, Geep, maybe 2 GP38s?
do you know the owning RRs?
looks like an ex CR, and a GWI unit.

just curious if you have that  info.

Those are all G&W units when this was taken. I know the blue one was a Conrail at one time but I don't know the parentage of the others
Here are photos of each unit  R&S is Rochester and Southern

Charlie,
Thanks for sharing the extra pics of the R&S locos.

1/16/1977. An eastbound truck train roaring by the East Palestine station at a brisk 10 MPH. The crews were not warm. It was a gruesome winter for railroading.
