RS3 transiting through Meadville Pa
Author: MontourMan

Wondered if anyone could post a photo of the ex-Ohio Central RR, RS-3,  #1077,  in Meadville Pa.
Thank you

How about a shot of it in its former life?  Handling a push-pull consist in "pull" mode, between Cold Spring Harbor and Syosset (NY), July 1971.

8 Pullman-Standard coaches plus an FA HEP power pack at the other end hauled by a 1600 HP RS-3 that also had to encounter a 1.6% grade in the vicinity.  Unclear if there was another loco at the opposite end.
