I'm not that skilled! Brand new Ferrocarril del Pacific M636s 655 & 656 at what is most likely Montreal (home of MLW) in October 1973 (????) Louisville & Nashville U25C 1524, ex-Oro Dam 8018, May 1970 (????)

NdeM G16 7310, Mexico City, MX, March 11, 1972 (????) L&N F9A 553, January 1975 (????) ("So Fine" I'd like to add...)
B&LE Bicentennial Caboose 1981, Albion, PA, September 7, 1976 (H. W. Ameling) Alaska RR SW1 1204, Birchwood, AK, May 28, 1973 (????)
Never been there, but I seem to recall something about Birchwood. A RR owned equipment storage yard, outside of Anchorage?
I'd never heard of the place until I found that slide. But that would seem to make sense as that SW1 was scrapped the same year that photo was taken and the locos that surround it were also, by that point, living on borrowed time. Well, here they are, the last two slides out of the long red slide box. United Railway Supply Leasing RS3 17 (ex-Reading I believe), Montreal, Quebec, September 9, 1974 (Dennis A. Smolinski) PC E8A 4320, December 1976 (????) (This particular E-Unit still exists today, restored to its original appearance as NYC 4068) This is not the end though! Gonna be starting to go through that massive stack of prints that I bought back in March of '18, so many more gems have yet to follow.
Noooooo! Say it ain't so!! This is a great thread and it's been an awesome way to travel back in time!!
The first two from the stack of nearly (now anyway) 700 prints. CB&Q F3A 134A plus three others "speed" by the camera in this shot at Galesburg, IL on April 6, 1953 (????) CB&Q Dome Coach 4722 "Silver Stirrup", Denver, CO, 1970 or 1971 (Jordan family photo)
