Nostalgia & History > Toss Back Tuesday - PC 1687Date: 02/10/26 11:22 Toss Back Tuesday - PC 1687 Author: refarkas (Repost) Some images seem to break all the rules. While four PC units are seen, because of the angle none is totally visible. Even 1687 has part of its nose hidden. Still the congestion of the engine facility of Collinwood Yard in Cleveland, Ohio has a beauty of its own. It is October 8, 1972, and this is the way locomotives were spotted. This isn't the clean, everything-just-right shot so many like. Instead it is a slice of reality. This was the way it was...

John in White Marsh, Maryland Date: 02/10/26 11:55 Re: Toss Back Tuesday - PC 1687 Author: mvrr10 Bob , a great shot ! All four units are pretty clean and you can see on the 1687 where " NEW YORK CENTRAL" and the cigar band ( under the number board ) were painted out . Collinwood took good care of their F's through most of the 70's .

Although there were other elements that I liked and disliked about the two images, I explained that I felt that as we go about our day, much of what we see isn't always displayed perfectly, but rather as imperfect images captured at a glance.
