Ray, having worked 13 years for a power company in substations in the middle of my working days, I want to commend you a realistic looking substation! Did you scratchbuild it?
Mark, yes I did it from scratch hoping I could get it to look somewhat realistic
I took many pictures of all the steps as I went along but too numerous to show here.
I think I might see you in one of the pics
Yes sir, that is Larry and me over by the regulators!!! Excellent!!! Thank you for the extra photographs! I was pushed out with a downsizing back in '95. Then I worked in telecom until retiring last fall.

The Plymouth crew is shifting cars for a few customers.
"EM1 excursion in Cumberland":
From Pittsburgh to Cumberland and return, c. mid-50s. Dad took this pic of #7600 in front of the station in Cumberland.
Since Dad is in it (closest to #7600 with me in front of him) Mom probably snapped this pic:

Seven for Sunday: More on the derailment.
" This is Bob Little reporting for WPTV. Bringing you up to date on that train derailment caused by a runaway boxcar that collided with the locomotive of a transfer freight yesterday morning in downtown Patsburg. We do have still photos of that accident which has closed the mainline and Patburg Avenue for over 8 hours. Free State Junction Railway officials stated that the cause of the accident is still under investigation. Patsburg Fire Chief, Preston Holmes said fire crews remained on the scene until clean up crews arrived. Some fire crews will remain until all diesel fuel is contained. The N&W Railroad's passenger train The Cavalier was held on the mainline until railway dispatchers were able to figure and clear a detour routing which required a long back up move for the train. An update will be given with more photos of clean up efforts tomorrow. This is Bob Little for WPTV in Patsburg. Now back to Walter Cronkite. "

Great photograph Lew! Thank you for sharing! My dad has mentioned those big engines on the Pittsburgh to New Castle run. All I saw were a parade of freights pulled by dark blue F units growing up. Not to say that was bad!
Mark, except for those EM1 excursions my memories are also of dark blue Fs and Geeps either dragging wide-open UP the hill through Gumtown (often with a pair of Pushers shoving hard) or rolling DOWN through Gumtown with the dynamic brake fans screaming.

A Harley shop AND an Indian shop.
Dad had an Indian (IIRC, Scout) that he used to visit home while attending Penn State. He built a wooden fairing for it to help with Winter trips.

That's the way it was at Valencia, about a mile from the top of Bakerstown Hill!
Lew...wooden fairing, necessity is the mother of invention
I remember my Father-in Law had a scout which his 6 kids ran around the back lot, kept stripping the 2nd gear, otherwise held up pretty good.
