Nostalgia & History > mFile: NYC E7A/B w/train @ ChicagoDate: 05/21/15 05:32 mFile: NYC E7A/B w/train @ Chicago Author: valmont The location is certainly not a mystery, but the 'when' and the photographer are unknown ... and what train was it?
 Date: 05/21/15 09:17 Re: mFile: NYC E7A/B w/train @ Chicago Author: MartyBernard The lighting looks to be maybe 9 a.m. in the summer. The Geep working passenger trains puts us no earlier than the 60s.

Didn't NYC use GP7's in pairs on many of it's passenger trains in the 1950's? Date: 05/23/15 07:05 Re: mFile: NYC E7A/B w/train @ Chicago Author: Englewood ATSF3751 Wrote:

I think they did. The Geep in the picture is solo, short end in the lead and the equipment it is handling has no head end or baggage cars. Also it is on track 3 which means it has either shoved that equipment down or is making a switching movement in the depot. |
