NYC 'C-Liner' CFA16-4 #6603 ABA set @ Riverside, MA July 1, 1952 .... I'll just let Ed Nowak's classic shot say the rest!

To paraphrase a famous statement, I'm not sure how to define "A CLASSIC SHOT", but I know one when I see one... And this is one!

Almost looks like the units have silver or light gray trucks. Might have been done just for the photo.

No, not just for the photo. There was a period in the fifties where NYC painted their diesel locomotive trucks silver (mostly passenger units).

Great shot. Was their a third main line in there that was removed? Notice ties and debris.
