Not much data, Taken with Minolta slr in the early 80's late 70's. No.1 Freight on the B&O's Carollton viaduct, the ist stone arched rail bridge in america. No.2 GG-1 electric locos with an Amtrack passenger train, 2 G's could pull most anything Amtrack had. No.3 B&O north bound frieght (with a cabose) at Harpers Ferry from Louden Hghts VA. No.4 Amtrack E-60 at Middle River MD. I love pics. I 'd put the snow chains on my pic up and just head out.

And like any consist, the GG-1s are still stumped by the light in the middle of the track. The engineer and the conductor are trying to figure out how they got onto the parking track in the first place.

My favorite buckle is made after GG-1. It leads a train of belt until it swallows up the tail. Good motive power to hold up my pants.


Great memory shots. Thanks for showing.

I love the G's too. My first memory of model trains was father's Lionel GG-1. Thanks for the comments.
