Now THAT is a different shot from what we usually see!
Not to disrespect the pictures shared by others, which I always enjoy.

And 1992 seems a LONG time ago.
thanks for sharing.

Hillyard,

Thanks again for your comments.  I do wish that I had used slide film back then.

Charlie,
interesting string of power. SW1500, Geep, maybe 2 GP38s?
do you know the owning RRs?
looks like an ex CR, and a GWI unit.

just curious if you have that info.

Those are all G&W units when this was taken. I know the blue one was a Conrail at one time but I don't know the parentage of the others
Here are photos of each unit  R&S is Rochester and Southern
