Hot off the memory card from the Fuzzums clan's trip to DC Union Station today to check out the display of vintage equipment. Between a weak flash and dim lighting I didn't stand much chance, but I think this one turned out nice. Southern E8 6900, Pennsy GG1 4935, Atlantic Coast Line E3 501, and Pennsy E8 5711 line up at the bumper posts. Out of sight in the dark behind the 5711 are private car PRR 120 and B&O GP9 6604 in the blue/gray/black scheme.

What a sight! Thanks for sharing it.

Too Cool! Thanks for sharing with us.

You would think its 1958, those EMD cabs sure look pretty

Thanks. There was actually plenty of modern equipment there - a MARC AEM7 with a double-deck coach, a full Acela Express trainset, 3 Superliners, a Viewliner, and a DOT inspection car - but they arranged it all so all the vintage equipment was in line first; a great move I thought. I wonder if any old-timers walked past the doors leading to the platform that day and did a double-take when the saw all those vintage noses sitting there...

The best line I heard that afternoon was when a gentleman walked past me and marveled at how that was probably the only time in history you'd ever see an E3 on the point of an Acela Express.

Very hard core!
