This is Penn Central (PC) RSD15 #6811 in Providence Rhode Island circa September 1970, PC class ARS24.

This went to PC #6811 in February 1968, renumbered #9949 in July 1975, later Conrail (CR) #6899 in April 1976, and scrapped in 1980.

Penn Central GE U28C 6532 at Elrama, Pennsylvania, January 5, 1969. Photographer: Lee Hastman. Scanned from a 120 negative owned by Digital Rail Artist. A U28C phase guide and builder list is available at my blog: digitalrailartist.blogspot.com/2022/02/u28c-phase-guide-a... The Pennsy U28C's were unique in that they had alternators, which greatly simplified the wiring. This resulted in two fewer electrical control boxes on left side of the locomotive, behind the cab.

A Penn Central "Metroliner" high-speed MU train pauses at Trenton in 1971. In this photograph are my father, Carl R. Baldwin (1931-2004) who often accompanied me on my railroad photography excursions. Without him, most of these pictures would have never been taken. Also visible is one of my primary school buddies, Steve Amter, who I would sometimes coax along.
Here's a photo taken by my Dad, Carl R. Baldwin (1931-2004) of a former New York Central P-Motor drifting into Croton-Harmon in 1971. Dad liked the Nikon's 28-mm wide angle lens, which created a subtle fish-eye effect.

The old coaling tower at New Haven's Cedar Hill yard dominates the view back toward New Haven. The Springfield line branches to the right:; you can see where the old New Haven catenary system ends. The line to Boston diverges to the right. Today, Amtrak's line to Boston is completely electrified and the Springfield branch is being upgraded to support higher-speed train service. But almost no trace of New Haven's locomotive yard remains today.
