What a bizarre critter! It was as though they just gave up trying.

I wonder how many understand just how hard it was to get any pictures of this one-of-a-kind engine out on the road, much less a clear, well-lighted view like this. It seemed to spend all its daylight hours sitting at Harrisburg, only to sneak out on the line long after sunset. it was like trying to shoot action pictures of the Erie triplex. So congratuations,Jack.

Good to have you around Jack! Keep 'em coming. Rare shot for sure.

At first glance I thought this was a railroad outside of the U.S.
|
Amazing view. Many thanks.

You are SO RIGHT, Bill Marvel. We had no idea this thing was coming. We saw white coming up the connection and then it apeared. I only caught it one other time, and it was raining. I shot both 1975 and 1976 in the engine terminal, seems that is the only place they spent most of there time during the day. Here is an old super 8mm sound movie of 1975 I had taken at the same time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ0VpmSVZ-A.
Bill! You have been putting up some SLAMMIN stuff! Very Nice! Keep up the good work...

Though I know this and its sister were new designs, I have to admit that it kinda resembles one of those old Virginian EL-C's with a chopped nose.

Awesome shot! If only we still had electric locomotives pulling freight on the NEC.
