Those ex-GM&O GP38s with their poling pockets, one of the rare application of them to second gen power.

When I looked at the thumb nail of this pic I thought the engine was leaning into a heavy banked curve then I did the blow up and discovered there is no curve.

OUCH! Great photo though,i happened to see a polling operation on the L&AL in Avon yard, pretty neat but dangerous stuff. Keep back when the poll falls!
