This is a going-away shot of an eastbound freight ascending Smithville Hill between Wooster and Smithville, OH on the former PRR. The CR GP38 and SP GP35 originally assigned to help the train up the hill were not up to the task, and two former NYC GP9s off of a following hopper train have been called to lend a hand. CR 7454 was scrapped at Hollidaysburg, PA 10/83. Date of photo approximate. |
