A couple grab shots along the NE Corridor
Author: gcm

Sept 1979
In this yard (ID ?) among other items are a Turbotrain set, New York Central marked baggage car and a couple GG1.
The second shot has a PRR RPO-baggage car.

Photo one is Race St Philadelphia, next to 30th St Station.

Photos look to have been taken from an outbound SEPTA (was it Conrail then?) upper level of 30th Station traveling west.

No. These views are from a passenger special of some sort that's running atop the freight-only High Line. In the 1970s that sort of thing still happened once in a blue moon. Great angle!

This was an interesting trip during the '79 NRHS Convention.
Probably behind GG1 4935.
