I guess that the No. of the Potomac Eagle EMD F7 is..um, let me think..I'm gonna say it's No. 722? I've always been curious as to why this "faux" B&O locomotive had three number boards on it's nose. I suggest that the Potomac Eagle people kindly remove that middle number board to make this locomotive look proper. Another suggestion I would make is that someone get out a sight level and fix that "listing" B&O plate on the door too, it's got a slight off balance "twist" so as to be slanted downward on the right just ever so slightly, but noticeably so.

The nose door number boards are prototypical for this paint scheme on many B&O cab units. This unit is a beautiful representation of one of the most striking schemes put on cab units. Many thanks to the people of the Potomac Eagle Scenic Railway for giving us a look at this wonderful unit.

If not for the "X" seen on the nose of the geep, you could almost see this as a pure B&O scene, since CSXT's YN3 paint scheme was patterned after the '60's B&O paint scheme. Great photo!
