Remarks & Notes 
As ubiquitous in this territory at the rear of heavy freights as cabin cars once were, a pair of helpers attached to an eastbound manifest exert their added dynamic braking power as the train descends the Allegheny slope on a splendid autumn afternoon. Fuji Astia.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
