She appears in sad condition, but at least she still exists representing her fine looking breed!

I've always wondered when someone would post a photo of this old girl on RP.net? Justin - you caught a good photo of her with the perfect light and surrounding setting. This is a piece of equipment owned by the Mad River & Nickel Plate Railroad Museum in Bellevue, Ohio and this is in their "back-lot" yard. Some other equipment with this EMD E8(A) includes a former Amtrak coach/cafe car, former Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey Circus Blue Troup car/coach and quite a few other sad looking "gems". This Yard is not on the Museum Tour "officially" but it is accessible and able to view - as long as you stay OFF and AWAY from the equipment and respect the Museum and not touch anything. Again - good photo Justin!

PC locomotives didn't look a whole lot better when they were operational. As a kid I remember PC trains coming through Columbus and thinking how dirty they always were, and if you look at all the pictures on this website, they are all filthy. maybe they were trying to emulate the Gulf, Mobile, and Ohio.
