Richmond Fredericksburg & Potomac EMD E8A 1001
Author: MartyBernard

Richmond Fredericksburg & Potomac EMD E8A 1001 built Nov. 1949 became AMTK 213 then AMTK 437.

1. At Bryan Park Shops, Richmond, VA on March 9, 1969.

2. From a RF&P B&W print. I assume she was brand new when this was taken, so the photo is from November 1949.

3. RF&P 1001 and a sister with the Silver Meteor passing Potomac Yard, Alexandria, VA on April 29, 1970.

4. The end of the Silver Meteor passing Potomac Yard, Alexandria, VA on April 29, 1970. See previous photo.

Looks like one of the Alco C430 demonstrators in the background of pic #1.  SCL later ended up buying them.

Especially like the last shot.  Something about the colors...

The last one is a pan.  I'd say it is 90% successful because the herald is blurred.  Marty
