Reproduced 35mm Slide Photo shot by my Dad, Jay Thomson, at Etowah, TN in October 1976 On October 13, 1976 Dad shot this old Pennsylvania RR boxcar in the L&N's Etowah, TN yard. The car has had some rough use, as evidenced by the dents and rust and the mismatched replacement door, but that fact that was still in active duty use - unpatched and unrepainted - 8 years after the PRR disappeared into Penn Central is remarkable.
The Pennsylvania Railroad regarded itself as the "Standard Railroad Of The World" and for several decades was the most powerful in the industry.
PRR half GG1 ( perhaps it's a G½ ) 4846 at Wilmington, Delaware, on an unknown day in April 1979, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I happened upon this while passing through Wilmington on a business trip. It appears to have a duct directed towards the track at the rear of the unit, suggesting that perhaps it was used to clear snow in the yard. Although this is in the Conrail time frame, it is unlikely this unit was on the CR roster. One source indicates that this was once # 4846.
