Interesting combination here.  Three ex-BN's, two SP&S and one NP, an Alton & Southern and I THINK, a C&EI.  At least that' what I think that paint scheme on the third unit is.  Nice Shot, JB, thanks for posting.

The BN RS units are RS2's 4001 and 4002, former SP&S 61 and 62 respectively. Actually the 4002 would become PNC 1561 and work through the rest of the 70's for the CNJ of all things lol.

All Alcos---I wish Alco could have lasted longer into this generation's power units.
