Charlie,

So much to notice in this photo!
Old v new.
Grime v fresh paint.
Patchover Penn Central.

And that is a very unusual caboose.
Intense blue, too.

Thanks for sharing!

September, 1976 Helping a westbound at MP 50, East Palestine, Ohio.     There is a grade out of town to the west that is about a mile long and a 0.88% grade (approximate rise of 10.5 inches per 100 feet) The track speed at this time was 10 MPH and that was stretching it, so helpers were not uncommon here. Here is a revised copy of the local track chart.
