Conrail was using this pair of CNW locomotives in August of 1977 for helper service on the Fort Wayne line. This was taken in East Palestine, Oh as they run light westbound to pick up another train. Charlie

Please forgive the quality. Taken with an instamatic in early 1976. there are 4 photos in the album. Can't upload directly to the forum again. It's a real shame only one E7 was saved. Charlie

Here is an old photo of the Schenley Distillery. I would guess taken shortly after the end of prohabition. Our locomotive shed is located just in front and slightly to the south of the grain silos. I think that a model of this complex will be one of my retirement projects. A hi resolution view...

Great shot Wayne, Love the box cars it's pulling. Charlie

Here is a picture of an SW7 I repainted to match the prototype I did for the LBCV in Negley in 1992. I still have to decal it one of these days. This is on my layout at home. Charlie
