The first restoration project of the Connecticut Valley Railroad Museum, aka today's Railroad Museum of Qew England. This former Union Pacific E-unit also served Amtrak before being repainted and renumbered after the last NYC E8A.
What appears to be a NYC E-unit pulling a luxury train of varnish is really a static display at the Danbury Railway Museum. NYC 4096 is actually a replica, former UP 912, restored by the Connecticut Valley Railroad Museum as a practice job when they were first getting started.

All the 1964 "babies", including Amos Hewitt's Lincoln Continental, at Essex. The 2685 would undergo a restoration to NH 2525 in the following year.
Another 300 dpi scan vs. the "normal" 400 dpi.
Had to use a slightly smaller scan to use the entire frame on this one, the "normal scan required too much cropping.
