Thanks for all the replies, guys.
It was the photos of the B&O yard and engine facility that looked odd to me. There were so many of these mixed pairs parked, I was starting to wonder if it was by design.
And, I agree … they look cool. Kinda ornery. Like this Central of New Jersey EMD/ALCO/F-M mixed bag:

I don't know what's going on here. If memory serves me, that is a New Jersey Transit line bridge over the Raritan River. Don't know why there would be an AMTRAK engine, but I don't know about such things. Just a neat photo:

Jim, you are right, this is the drawbridge over the Raritan river. Both GG1 4881 and E60 967 belonged to NJT. NJT wasn't big on paint, usually just painting over an existing logo and slapping NJT logo somewhere. This might be just after the E60 was acquired. Since either locomotive could have handled that 8 car train this might be a motive power move or something wrong with the E60.
