The last of the F units on the PC - 1 of 3
Title:  The last of the F units on the PC - 1 of 3
Description:  Date approximate. I'm not sure how we found out, but someone let us know there was a Kodak unit train headed our way and it was full of F's. It's stopped just short of 373 (around Hague St.) waiting to move over to 3 or 4.

The last of the F units on the PC - 3 of 3
Title:  The last of the F units on the PC - 3 of 3
Description:  Date approximate. Location is Maple / Sexton / Brown area. The bridges over Brown, King and Canal streets are out of sight to the right. The F's have run around their train and are poised for the run down to Kodak. We're losing the light (and cold), so it's time to head home.

Title:  PC 1775
Description:  Date approximate. Probably 70 or 71. PC 1775 leads another F and a GP9B upgrade about a 1/2 mile short of Dewey Ave. Note the masking tape "seal" around the headlight, indicative of the poor PC days.

PC 1775 and others in 1972 - shot 1 of 3
Title:  PC 1775 and others in 1972 - shot 1 of 3
Description:  This shot is from February 1972 in the PC days. I'm standing a few hundred feet south of Ridge Rd. on the east side of the NYC, pointing the camera north. What looks to be structure on the extreme right is actually the billboard close to the Ridge, so that should give you an idea of the location and distance. B&O 6541 and 5928 are waiting patiently on the B&O main for the Kodak security guard to arrive and open up the gate. The 1st Belt job is returning from Charlotte with F's 1775, 1784 and ? running elephant style and GP9B 3827 tucked in the rear. RS-1's were the norm in the '60s, followed briefly by RS2/3's. Before the second generation Alcos (RS-32 and similar) arrived, PC got their monies' worth out of the last of the first generation EMDs by putting them in local service. F7A-GP9B-F7A lash-ups were common on Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse local jobs.

Two C&O F7s bracket 4 B&O geeps and F7s - October 1968 - 1 of 5
Title:  Two C&O F7s bracket 4 B&O geeps and F7s - October 1968 - 1 of 5
Description:  Typical weekend unit train power at Ridge Rd. The 100+ hoppers of coal have been put away inside Kodak and the crew is heading back in after lunch to sort the go-aways. Note the caboose on the main on the north side. If you knock the brakes off, it will roll past the switch for the Kodak lead to get it on the rear of the go-aways for the short trip back to Brooks Ave.

C&O 7068 leads a cut of F's out of Kodak September 1965
Title:  C&O 7068 leads a cut of F's out of Kodak September 1965
Description:  C&O 7068 in experimental black & white paint scheme pulling out of the B&O lead at Kodak. I'm standing on the south side of the ridge, looking to the north (and a little west). L.B. Finewood is across the street. Keep in mind the switch to Kodak was on the north side of the ridge at that time, meaning the B&O had two tracks that crossed at grade - the main and the lead into Kodak. The handsome F is in charge of 4-5 others on a Saturday or Sunday unit coal train equipped with road power. Notice the engineer's hand dangling on a nice late summer day. The "flare" is (was) an all too common attribute of roll film when mishandled either installing or removing from the camera, in this case a 127 Brownie.
