Remarks & Notes

After Amtrak’s formation in 1971, South Amboy, New Jersey became the base for Penn Central’s largest concentration of E-units. Here a bunch of them spend the weekend at the engine terminal just a few weeks after the PC was usurped by Conrail. Note the large "Safety Always" slogan on the engine house.

The best that the Streamlined Era had to offer, brought together in one handy album. Includes EMD, Alco, Baldwin, F-M, and GE - plus a few surprises.

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