My dad is second from the right. I think the tall, far left guy was the General Car Foreman. We bought registered Black Angus from him, he had a farm at Patterson's Creek. Taken in the 1970's.

That diesel in the background was a Baltimore & Ohio locomotive operated by Chessie and painted in the Chessie paint scheme.

You dad was a cool looking dude, 8) i don't know about over in America, but the 1970's were the last great era of the railways over here in the state where i live, once the 1980's arrived they started the process of the corporate thinking and breaking up the railways and selling off different sections of it. Have a good week. :)

Fine looking locos, JPD! ::tu::

Hard to believe the amount of work and materials that went into making electric engines work.

We had a Norfolk Southern sighting during our morning coffee walk. The engines were moving pretty quickly, had to grab a fast shot. The engineer saw us and let out a few air horn blasts.

It was a long heavy train. My guess is the four switcher engines and maybe others were being moved to another yard somewhere. ::shrug::
