Nostalgia & History > three Lehigh Valley red C628'sDate: 11/30/21 06:10 three Lehigh Valley red C628's Author: LV95032 Originally scanned and color processed in 2012 I realized it wasn't up to my current standards so I color corrected it again with the experience gained in the past 9 years. Westbound coming down hill at Bloomsbury, NJ.

Alco power up front in beautiful colors and boxcars from various railroads behind with no grafitti. Great shot!

Bob Date: 11/30/21 13:23 Re: three Lehigh Valley red C628's Author: junctiontower Can't see the unit number on the third one. First two are ex-Monon, where they had a short but interesting and troubling tour of duty.
