Mike Ondecker Photo - C&O 6030
Author: refarkas

Mike Ondecker photographed C&O 6030, B&O 5535 heading east through Akron, Ohio on July 20, 1968. To their left is the passenger platform for B&O's Akron Union Station. (Sadly the B&O boxcar is cut off in the original negative.)

Extra points for getting the wagon top boxcar in the photo.

That's really sweet.  And I'm guessing that the doors are open on the F7B for better cooling?

Great background selection for the photo.  Looks like the Greyhound bus park adjoined the railroad.

The covered walkbridge you see above the tracks went from B&O's Akron Union Station to the Greyhound Bus terminal.
