At the time these photos were taken I worked as Parts Manager at the Ford dealership in East Palestine. It was owned by the same man that owned the Dodge dealership in the picture but was about 500 feet east at Market Street.  I lived about 500 feet directly north of the tracks.  I would spend many evenings (until it was too dark) taking photos of trains after work. The majority of them were Kodachrome slides which I have scanned at 4800 DPI. I could watch trains out of my parts room window while sitting at my desk so I did see a lot I didn't get photos of. I enjoy sharing them 
8/19/1977, Westbound coal at MP 50 on the Fort Wayne line.

First Grand Trunk loco I've seen in a Rainbow Years consist! Just goes to show that nearly anything goes if you're modeling that era. Super glad you captured these and continue to share them, Charlie!

Todd, I missed a lot of photos because I had to feed the family and buy film  Goldth. I saw lots of odd stuff out the parts room window. The one that really got away was a SP&S RS3 in a consist.  Funeral trains were common too. We also got lots of run through power that usually turned at Conway, Lots of SP and UP and some MP even.
