Another one-unit wonder! Long train . . . how fast did they run? I'd think maybe 50 mph for trailers, or were they drags?

Bob,
Your shot "gets it." I've always loved the Capitol symbol. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like the front handrail on the engineer's side is a bit "off." Great shot!

Looks like one of the Baltimore & Ohio / Chessie System "Trailer Jets". I thought that name was always a cool name for the B&O piggyback trains. Nice photo.

B&O and C&O were noted for operating some very long trains with only one unit.

Maybe somebody forgot to unhook a crossover chain when separating power. Don't ask me how I know.....
