Nostalgia & History > PRR 'True Grit' redux

Got this shot on 1/27/68 @ Ebenezer yard in West Seneca (Buffalo area) NY. Another sunny day in Western NY ; ^ )

I can see the sun shining through your sarcasm.

Nice telephoto effect.

My first thought when I saw your fine pic was - send these great engines to the Hamlet Diesel Shop.  We would give them one of our annual hand washings and scrubbings with long brushes, rags, and plenty of strong Texize soap.

Bet the E's were power for the Buffalo Day Express up from Harrisburg. Ben

I totally love this shot !!

Great shot! I haven't seen many photos taken at Ebeneezer yard. Thanks for posting! I used to go there and do rail car inspections after Ebeneezer Railcar took over the yard .

Red class lights on the 4223 and the 6003 both?

PS: neat pic.

Someone can probably add more to it but it's a "Pennsy thing". Red only. I think they mainly used them as marker lights. As far as rules and ops the PRR was in their own stratosphere. They were the standard railroad of the world after all!
