But the meet between F-M units is really special.

Please keep on posting more B&O and Western Maryland. Thanks. John in White Marsh, Maryland Date: 03/15/18 04:27 Re: B&O memories Author: WM_1109 More, please!
All of these are terrific photos. But yeah, the one with the two F-M units is really special. -Ted Date: 03/15/18 05:34 Re: B&O memories Author: bridgeportsub Fantastic photos. Never saw FM units over here in Grafton. A friend took me to several B&O places in Baltimore,but would not go to Bayview because security was too tight around there. And that was back in the early 80's.
Randy Date: 03/15/18 05:41 Re: B&O memories Author: refarkas Great images. The meet with two FM's really brings a smile.
Bob Date: 03/15/18 08:53 Re: B&O memories Author: krm152 Great photos! Definitely like them all.
ALLEN Date: 03/15/18 13:36 Re: B&O memories Author: Gateway97 That is a really nice set. Seeing pics of Sand Patch never gets old, F’s never get old, just us Railfans getting older. ;~ )
Date: 03/15/18 13:40 Re: B&O memories Author: perklocal I can just imagine the sound of that 6-pack heading up the "Patch"! Those Geeps and 30s shoving that ore train made a nice racket too I'll bet! You can see the sand flying around those wheels! Great shots!
Date: 03/15/18 20:42 Re: B&O memories Author: RuleG Nice trio of photos. Being a Pittsburgher, I'm partial to the second photo.
In that photo, can't help but note the relative cleanliness of the second GP9 even in the Chessie era. I believe the tower shown in that photo was one of the last, if not the last, staffed interlocking tower in Pittsburgh. |
