DF-Prints. Here is a print of (L to R) Pennsylvania Railroad engine #8718 and another unit whose road number is not recorded. Both are FS-12M's built by Fairbanks-Morse and rated at 1,200 horsepower each. #8718 was built in November of 1952 and retired in December of 1967 after just 15 years of revenue service. The photographer's name, the exact date, and the location are not recorded. Brad Mann Collection.

Both were built by the American Locomotive Company. #9607 is an AF-15 built in March of 1950, rated at 1,500 horsepower, and retired in April of 1965 after just 15 years of revenue service. In this context, this A-B set is pulling a mixed-cargo freight train on the Buffalo Branch and will presently cross the Rockville Bridge on its way to the Enola Yards. Brad Mann Collection.

E-Prints. Here is a print of (R to L) Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4458 and another unit whose road number is not recorded. #4458 was built as an E-44 (C-C) electric in May of 1963, rated at 4,400 horsepower, and rebuilt as an E-44A in November of 1964.

My friend took this picture as we chased a CPKC intermodal led by one of the new "Slideshow" units north along the Portal subdivision.

Led by a GP20C-ECO and an SD30C-ECO, this local is the first I've chased out of Minot.

The second pass for this train was near Des Lacs. The sun came out at the perfect time.

I chased this grain train led by an NS AC44C6M out of the valley. I first caught it passing the golf course.

The rear end of the intermodal. The dynamic brakes of the locomotives were clearly audible in the morning stillness.

This intermodal was slowing down to allow a westbound to pass before crossing the Gassman Coulee trestle.

Here, a P42 leads the morning Empire Builder past a crossing near the unincorporated community of Ralston.

This was the first time I saw a P42 leading the Amtrak Empire Builder. Previously, it has been led by only Chargers.

The last of the 2010 CP Olympics Units to wear the white stripe is seen leading a hopper train north along the Portal subdivision.

9542 is a 1965 model "Main Line" Westinghouse R36 IRT passenger unit built by St. Louis Car, delivered 2/1965. Last new build passenger rail equipment in North America with conventional sash windows.The 34 Main Line R36s (9524-9557) are actually Main Line R33s delivered at the tail end of the R36 order, being assembled from leftover Main Line R33 car shells between July 1964 and early 1965. These leftover R33 car shells resulted when it was decided to have the last 40 R33s built as single units for 11-car operation for Flushing Line World's Fair Service. 9542 is in the New York Transit Museum fleet.

9543 is a 1965 model "Main Line" Westinghouse R36 IRT passenger unit built by St. Louis Car, delivered 2/1965. Last new build passenger rail equipment in North America with conventional sash windows. 9543 tested Westinghouse E-Cam DC traction in 1988, later installed on GOH R44s (1991) and now on all R62s, R62As, R68s and R68As.

Early prewar IRT, BMT and IND subway cars were not factory equipped with wipers but had manual hand cranked wipers installed in later years, as much of the mileage was underground. The postwar "SMEE" fleet starting with the R10 (IND) and R12 (IRT) in 1948 had manual hand operated wipers as seen here. The R38s, R40s and R42s in 1966-1970 introduced pneumatic vacuum operated wipers, which were superseded by electric wipers starting on the R44s in 1971 and continuing on all new passenger equipment to date. 9542 is a 1965 model "Main Line" Westinghouse R36 IRT passenger unit built by St. Louis Car, delivered 2/1965.
