Bay Line RS-1 in Panama City, August '73.
1/3 of the AN roster sits in Panama City Florida at the Bay Line shops. 721 was being used at the time on the "Port Job" running from the main yard to the Port of Panama City on a daily basis.
Harbinger of things to come, when the entire roster is EMD 4-axle 2000HP.
Not bad looking for homemade rhinoplasty victims these old units lasted long past their time, probably due to the superb maintenance on this fine little shortline.
A rare unit any way you cut it, but this one was even more rare. It was bought new by a shortline. Yes, it has a little boo boo on the pilot.
This was a tight-ship operation with a great variety of EMD units.
Wearing one of the worst rhinoplastys in locomotive history these units were a part on a once quite varied roster.
At probably the most immaculate engine facility I ever saw.
ASAB's series unit #500 leads the lineup for assignment.
