This RS3 is one of the group of RS3s, RS2s and FA1s sent to Alco for rebuilding in 1959-60. They came back in better than new condition. New Haven was in very rough shape, by 1970 so was Penn Central. This train would have a relatively easy time of things, since Penn Central cut their passenger schedules by more than half. They'll be back in South Boston by 3 PM, with luck.
