Fifty Or More Years - PC 7335
Author: refarkas

It is the Friday after Thanksgiving Day (November 29, 1968) in Toledo, Ohio where John Woodworth, Mike Ondecker, and I found Penn Central 7335 (EMD GP9) and Penn Central 1633 (EMD F3A). PC 1633 is still in full NYC paint.

Thanks for the post... I love NYC F-Units. I grew up in Rochester, NY and saw lots of E and F units in the 50's and early '60's. But in my humble opinion, the earlier lightening stripe design is much nicer.

Super catch and photo.  Both GP9 and F3A are very interesting.
#7335 was an early full PC repaint.
#1633 was a pretty much untouched NYC.
Really nice catching them together.
Thanks for the excellent photo posting.

Another classic case of why you shouldn't automatically put the camera away on a cloudy day!  I'm pretty sure that the 1633 was one of the last active PC F3's.  I shot the same engine about two months earlier at Warners, NY, west of Syracuse, leading a long (167 cars) westbound drag freight - photo attached.

Bob Davis,
First-rate action photo. She certainly looks just right on the point of that freight.
