Eastern Railroad Discussion > My pics of "Miss Liberty" and NS #1071

Keeping true to a formerly announced ban on calling NS #1071 "Miss Liberty",
I present "Miss Liberty" and NS #1071 in CNJ heritage as captured 11/22/2014
in Norristown PA.

I was actually out taking pics and going on a first ever ride over the 1907
built former Philadelphia and Western Railroad line otherwise known as the
Norristown High Speed Line - nice surprise!

Excellent perspective with the unit in the background under the bridge. Being a trolley and urban transit fan, I have been taking photos in the area for fifty years and that shot has never occurred to me. A+ for creativity. Wish I had realized that you were at C.P. Ford. I would have introduced myself. It would have been nice to put a face with a name.

Have some photos that, uh, panned out pretty well! Will
post a bit later when I finish editing the batch. I'd
love to see what you've captured on the Norristown Line
through the years... those SEPTA ABB N-5 tin cans have
no character what-so-ever!

And, yes, it would've been nice to have officially, and
finally met! That was quite a crowd at Norristown by
the road crossing.

I missed the announcement. Can you provide a reference?

Thanks.

Lol - I guess I can not. Looking at what I wrote,
I obviously forgot to add a ; )

Some time ago, though, I could swear I remember
a bunch of folks proclaim they had had their fill
of the moniker for #1071. It could've been "Lady
Liberty", but I can't seem to find references any
longer. All in jest, of course.

Mitch,

I switched to digital about 2 years ago. There are about 2000 slides in my collection of Philly area transit over the years including PTC, SEPTA, Red Arrow, P+W, etc. At present, I do not have the capability of scanning them.
