Well, a video but....taken on the Oil Creek and Titusville mixed train. This fascinating railroad has a unique business model. They use tourist train ticket revenue to subsidize the freight side. When Conrail put this section of the old PRR Pittsburgh to Buffalo line up for abandonment Titusville businessmen bought the railroad so their several industries could still have railroad service. The problem was there is only several cars of freight traffic per day.....not enough to support the operation. So they turned it into a successful tourist railroad and they hang the freight cars on the end of the passenger train.

Hey, nice picture of the GM&O Alco RS3, interlocking and depot at Delavan, IL. Looks like post 1972 merger of the IC and GM&O since the Northbound on the Peoria Dist. is lettered Illinois Central Gulf. The GM&O 1520 is on the "Jack Line". Thanks for posting Brian!

Two photos of Metroliners I shot in the late seventies. The one without the cooling blisters on their roofs is near Zoo Tower. The other revamped liners is along the I95 corridor in Tacony.

For something a little different, here is a shot I took in Reading Terminal on Market St. in Philadelphia in 1972.
