A Near Perfect Train  Contributor's Pick!       
2 back-to-back SW9s, starts with 2 gons, 2 tanks, a box-tank-box threesome, ends with 2 gons, and as the RR god meant it to be, a caboose. I'm not sure how the big box of "all" fits in.

Eric Reinert General Pretty sure the box of "All" is the Lever Brother's plant. 12/30/2007 11:19:08 PM
Ryan Kertis General Yep, sure is...its still making soap there too! 12/31/2007 7:51:44 PM
Mike Rapchak Jr. General Nice to know that that particular segment of the Pennsy mainline is still there as well. :) 1/2/2008 8:54:17 PM
Joe Usselman General It's so interesting to see from this angle before the depot was built. 1/3/2008 1:03:47 PM

Jeff Carlson General Mr. Usselman, you're right! That is where the Amtrak station is. I didn't even recognize the scene initially. 1/13/2008 3:18:12 PM
Eric Reinert General Check out the Google Life Magazine image of a similar vantage point from 1941 from the New York Central Main. Use "road gang" as the search keywords. 12/18/2008 11:52:22 AM
