Title:
NP 859
Description:
"From the bridge on the other side of the engine house"--- perhaps there is more here than you might first notice!!! Is that an F3 "B" unit in the engine consist?! You can just barely make out the air tanks for the train &engine brakes on the top of the GP7/9 if you know where 2look!!! This made room 4larger fuel tanks!!! And those might even be 40ft wooden box cars--- i can't really say for sure/ this was 40 years ago, another place &time much different from 2day!!! No personal desk top computers &photo editers then!!!
