Patch power
Title:  Patch power
Description:  In its early days of running larger systems than its traditional lines, the Genesee & Wyoming used a lot of hand me down power in patched paint. Here is the train that interchanged with Conrail at Silver Springs with a pair of ex CR units and an ex NW geep, all in original colors. The unified colors would come later. The snow would eventually melt, too!!
