Interesting how, instead of washing that E Unit, they just left it dirty and cleaned off the portion that says "Norfolk & Western", plus the unit number.  

Maybe there was a drought.  

Check out the Alco with a boiler!

Anybody know the location?

The train size, codeline poles, and dwarf signals would make me think former Wabash property. Can't see a sign on the depot. The Geep and Alco are former NKP units.

The loacation is the Wightman Street crossing in Moberly, Missouri.

The train would be westbound from St. Louis and it is just about a block south of the Moberly Depot.

Having date information would be helpful, but this would appear to be N&W 209 from St. Louis to Kansas City.

Per the N&W Moberly Division timetable No.1, dated January 15, 1967, 209 was due into Moberly at 6:17pm.

None of Bernie's photos are dated nor do they have locations noted.

Thanks for the location. The buiding on the right is a freight station of standard design, a similar one at Tilton, Illinois.
