Wow, you actually got the Crescent by the Leeds depot. I've driven through Leeds dozens of times and never get lucky there. Nice shot!!!!
Thank you. When I turned to watch it pass by, I just caught a train on the former CofG and snapped a shot.
Could have been for MOW on their Northeast Corridor tracks. I know that Long Island RR used B-60s (PRR baggage cars) for MOW tool cars. This is a former Long Island B-60 tool car that some friends of mine acquired.
I found this one at Hagerstown, MD in July 1982. Not sure what became of it. Looking at the roof vents, I'm guessing that it's B60b Messenger Car that had a toilet, locker and working space for an employee.
It's one of those rare days in central Texas when the weather is in the teens so it's no surprise there aren't many passengers waiting outside to get on the Texas Eagle when it stops in UP's Taylor yard. Not too long after that it screams past the silos in Granger toward it's next stop at BNSF's Temple yard, eventually terminating in Chicago.
Two at Princeton Jct., NJ. The first from July 1980 with E60 958 and a throng of passengers and the other in January 1981 with AEM7 910.
Still think those E60's were a neat lookin' loco! I could see those rolling thru Montana on the Milwaukee Road if they had stuck to electrification, and survived the last bankruptcy and stayed in the West...... A set of three of those on a WB, painted in the last "Hiawatha" scheme!
Descendants of the Metroliner MU cars, they're still running today. 'Fleet 1's on the Corridor and Keystone lines, 'fleet 2's all over.
