Switcher Saturday - B&O 9055
Author: refarkas

It is a cloudy July 1973 day in Akron, Ohio, and B&O 9055 sits in the B&O engine facility.

Great shot. Only saw those at Connellsville. Even saw a few lettered Saten Island there also. We never had those in Grafton or Clarksburg.We had some Baldwin switchers but never any Alco's.

Nice side shot of the 9055.
Looks like a wooden caboose on the right?

Yes, it is a wooden caboose. I doubt if I took pictures of it. I was in a locomotive photo mentality then.

Perfect light for a cloudy day. Were you using 25 ASA Kodachrome?
