Communipaw was a virtual museum for years, first with camelbacks, in the post WWII era, then in the '60's old, or minority make diesels, like these "Babyfaces". Best of all, they didn't mind if you wanted to take pictures or just drink it all in. CNJ kept these oddballs, because EMD would not give them a trade in allowance CNJ would accept. EMD did give the Jersey Central a good deal on new SD35s, but they wanted the F3s. This is a good shot of these units.
Only the mosquitos seemed to have a problem with us.

Very nice photo. The mosquitos were no problem in the steam days of the early 1950s, probably because of all the smoke. This model was one of the very few that the PRR never bought.
