Unexpected Train, Unusual Power Lash-up
Description:
I wasn't expecting a train at all, let alone a lashup like this. The only C40-9W-GP9-SD70M-2 lineup I've ever seen. The Geep didn't have any sublettering like most "heritage" units do.

Description:
Here's a 1952 EMD GP7 s1500 hp witcher, a class ES15m in the PRR books. Later it would be renumbered PC #5853 after the merger.

With the help of Daniel Andres, Jr, who identified the location, this was taken at upper Bel-Del yard in Phillipsburg, NJ. Forrest Trittenbach photo
