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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
