That looks like a scrap line? Pantagraphs down and no catenary overhead.

This is exactly what I've said over the years in regard to who is taking photos of a train.

If it's a woman behind the camera, the kids will have to be as close as possible to the locomotive, usually taking a great deal of time to do so (to the annoyance of the other railfans who don't want a shot with her kids in it).

If it's a guy taking the shot, the kids will be next to him and out of the photo completely (or ducking into the shot quickly and getting out as fast).

At that particular moment no one wanted to get any closer to the 614 than my Dad and my Son were standing. Ross Rowland had just worked her so hard coming up the hill from Rockwood to Somerset (pulling a long excursion train of mostly heavyweight equipment, including a full-length Dome car) that the paint was still smoking on the smokebox and there was so much heat radiating that it was downright uncomfortable to get any closer.

Kind of sad looking, isn't it.  I took the photo at 30th Street Station, from the edge of the parking lot, above.

Nice photo.  A thousand words are there for one to think up.  

This is sad....4935 looks fresh from the shop compared to this one

Wow. Gives new meaning to the term "dead line".

By the star on the front of the pilot, I am guessing this is somewhere in Russia.  It's got to be a cold place in order to have enough time to create such a masterpiece.

It appears to be GP15-1, Lee, not that you were asking what it was.

Thanks for posting the picture, Lee.  I like the livery.

I think there is still a pair of them somewhere on the Puget Sound & Pacific but I haven’t seen them for quite awhile.

Guys.  The  pics look great! 

Larry. Here’s some more pics I took Thanks for pointing that out I have no clue what it was maybe a gp38 if it was a truck that would be different. It’s owned by the patriot railroad a switching co. that works around the metro area
