Your black and white photo has caught the past with a newsreel quality color doesn't convey. On the left you have the gatehouse with the gates permanently down while on the right you have a brick building seemingly covered with the coal dust and grime of the age of steam. As for 1674, her almost new paint job hints at a future of many more productive years hauling freight, but that is but a dream.

Early phases of the track elevation project it seems. This is an eastbound (today northbound) at Clifton Avenue. The building at right is still there. Thanks for sharing George!

The New York Central cigar band was beautiful in its simplicity.

I'm only now discovering this fine photo. It brings back alot of memories for me as this was the stop my grandparents would take me to catch the train homeward when I returned to New York after visiting them in the summer. And the train I rode? The Ohio State Limited, of course, of the Great Steel Fleet of the New York Central System. Thank you for sharing this photo with us all.
