Lew, those are great photographs, sad as it is none were saved.  You are just enough older than me to have seen steam, though you were pretty little.  I believe the Mallets were still running on the B&O through Valencia and Mars at that time.  I would have been too little to have noticed.

Today if your dad didn't get in trouble for trespassing, he certainly would have been in trouble for letting kids climb all over them!!  

Mark, I do remember riding behind those big articulated B&O EM1s on excursion trips out of Pittsburgh. Sooner or later I'll put up a topic with the pics Dad took on those trips.

Ya, those were different times when being on railroad property was much more OK than it is today.
