Beautiful loco. Sorry for the quality. (c.1992)

The windows on those locos seem so restrictive with the excess window framing.

If I only knew what I was recording. Then again, I was only 22. It was just another coal train with blue engines.

Just found this, awesome part of history. This was Washington Boro i assume? I wasn't able to get in that area until late in 1994 when having my own car...oh btw is that your Golf in the shots?

Yes, Washington Boro. And yes, that was my first VW, a 1985 Golf. Did a lot of railfanning in that car. Wrecked it when I pulled out onto Rt. 11/15 at the Rockville bridge in 1995.

You take your life in your hands on that road. PennDOT has tried a lot of things to try to reduce accidents, but it's just too congested, with too many blind driveways/intersections. They finally have gotten rid of the suicide passing lanes North of there.

Well imagine that, my first car was a 1990 VW Golf GL, California model. Got it when stationed there for three months in 1994 while attending training. The stuff i did with that car. One of the vehicles i regret selling.
