Just in
Title:  Just in

Thinks its an Alco
Title:  Thinks its an Alco
Description:  GP 18 1802 is providing the smoke screen as SU 100 gets out of town, passing the Kirkwood Frito Lay plant as it starts its trip down the Erie and into Jersey. Note the difference in the paint schemes. The 3632 is in a newer version of the long time standard, with the top of the unit along the radiator grills and roof now black, much like the BN unit this once was, while the GP 18 retains its original scheme, yellow all the way to the roof.

Digging in
Title:  Digging in
Description:  BH 1 rolls north toward Phelps St on the NYSWs former DLW line as daylight fades. The grade is not as heavy as on the D&H a little farther up the hill, but it still gives trains a workout here, as the smoke from both units shows.
