A pair of C&O units sits along side engine house waiting for repair in the late afternoon sun.

A steam powered big hook lifts up the front end of a C&O U25B after the rail had flipped over undernieth the unit. Later on, the big hook shoved the engine back about 90 feet to good rail.

Eastbound C&O freight heads toward Cincinnati from Chicago passing under the Butler Ave Bridge.

Nice fresh paint looking good, slug mom, yard switcher.

The moneysaving removal of the brakewheel is evident here. Where was the FRA?

This was about the last year for these great old beasts. I think I have a shot of one in 85 or 86.

C&O 8106 is one of the very few U boats to receive this paint scheme. Shown here working one of the many coal truck tipples in the town.

Another U25 captured before the were gone. Louisville seemed especially rapid in getting these in FL so I have almost none in "real" L&N.

L&N U25B has a new home in Oak Ridge , Tn.

I believe this was the only U-25B + slug set to be fully in FL colors.

Coupled with an ex-RS-3 slug this old horse is resting between jobs at the terminal. Another product of the great U Boat search of 1982.

CV Local scoots along northbound with a classic GE team.

A Conrail eastbound known as LOCO is seen here at Butler Ave. Bridge running along side the C&O to the left from Converse to Marion.

A pair of Conrail U25B's rest in front of Goodman Yard Office on a nice sunny May afternoon.

Westbound headed for Selkirk is still plowing snow yet slowing for the switch to take the Framingham branch. I took the shot then quickly hid my camera under my coat. I knew what was coming next.
