The motive power shown here is an A-B-A set of Fairbanks-Morse 1600 h.p. C-Liners.

Wow! What a thrilling shot of the old Pennsy doing what it did like no other - moving a vast traffic mix and tonnages along its impeccable steel highway. Just another day along the Broadway, but what a fine image to share. This is, along with the shot of the FMs on an eastbound freight at Mifflin, perhaps my favorite of the many classics you have posted here, or have had published. Exquisite!

Man what a great shot. I can almost taste the Coke. Thanks for sharing.

I like John's shot much better, but it's amazing how much this spot has changed.

I love older shots like this, and this one has a story to boot. Excellent.
|
Thank you for this piece of history! This photo speaks volumes, but the story makes it all the better. I can only hope what we are shooting these days is as noteworthy somewhere down the road.

John, could you possibly remember what these opposed piston engines sounded like so many years later? I have an excellent recording of F.M.locos on the Milw.Road and S.P. To me they have a very deep mellow sound that reminds me of a big block V-8 in an automobile. Thank you so much for posting all these incredible images.

I do remember what the opposed piston engine sounded like. They had a very deep sound like a an engine in a cave.
