Shooting the Western Allegheny RR had to be done in the longer days of the year. The day would begin between between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM at the engine house in Kaylor. With a set of power on each end of the train, they would work their way to the connection with B&LE at Queen Junction, picking up loads at the small tipples along the way. By todays standards, all of the tipples were small, the largest probably producing less than 20 cars a day. The good news was, you got to shoot the train heading west into the sun. The bad news was, the return trip to Kaylor was always made in darkness. On August 25, 1979, the westbound freight was arriving at Queen Junction as the light got really sweet, led by F7A No. 728.
An attempt to put the best picture of engines that represent each of America's railroads. When a better picture of an engine/type is found, it will be added.
