A Couple Of Anything - EL 2575/WM 81
Author: refarkas

Here are two.
1.) EL 2575 (EMD GP35) is in Kent, Ohio in February 1973.
2.) WM 81 (EMD BL2), 138 (Slug), and caboose are in Hagerstown, Maryland on July 7, 1973. Unfortunately, the caboose would not fit into the slide's image.

You followed up yesterday's excellent duo with another excellent set.
While the lighting and composition of Photo 1 may be better,  
my preference is for Photo 2.  It conveys a real feeling of WM.
Thanks for continuing your duo series.

Both photos are nice and especially the 2nd one of the Western Maryland.  Thanks as always for sharing with all of us.

While I am partial to the EL shot, photographically speaking, I think you hit the WM shot dead center. I like everything about it. As many times as I photographed the BL2/slug combo, I don't recall once shooting one featuring the slug in the foreground.
