Name	Type	Comments	Date

Gary Everhart	General	Absolutely the most beautiful electric ever built during a time when America truly understood and supported high speed trains!	7/20/2011 6:43:39 AM

George Katz	General	@Gary: Hear! Hear! And Thanks for sharing your Dad's eye for beauty, Tom.	7/20/2011 8:45:03 AM

Stu Nicholson	General	Raymond Loewy's design is timeless. They were classy hauling passengers or freight.	7/20/2011 9:13:38 AM

Fred Goff	General	Great Photo.	7/20/2011 12:16:56 PM

Jim Satterwhite	General	Me thinks that your Dad may have bagged an Editor's Pick if for nothing more than the scene's historical significance.	7/20/2011 7:31:32 PM

Tom Fassett	General	To heck with the things wizzing by at high speed--that's one of the most dramatic GG1 shots I've seen. Pop caught a good scene... ;- )	7/21/2011 1:02:59 PM

Tom Beckett	General	Tom F-I agree. One of the powerful things of this shot is the apparent anticipation of an imminent high speed run. Sometimes that's more dramatic than watching the tear up Metuchen at 100 MPH.	7/21/2011 5:56:50 PM

Wendy Crim	General	Awesome shot. I love how different these were/are.	8/20/2011 3:50:20 PM
