A Near Perfect Train
2 back-to-back SW9s, starts with 2 gons, 2 tanks, a box-tank-box threesome, ends with 2 gons, and as the RR god meant it to be, a caboose. I'm not sure how the big box of "all" fits in.

Pretty sure the box of "All" is the Lever Brother's plant.

Nice to know that that particular segment of the Pennsy mainline is still there as well. :)

It's so interesting to see from this angle before the depot was built.

The Hammond Amtrak Station.

Mr. Usselman, you're right! That is where the Amtrak station is. I didn't even recognize the scene initially.

Check out the Google Life Magazine image of a similar vantage point from 1941 from the New York Central Main. Use "road gang" as the search keywords.
