PRR 5841, EP-20, c. 1962 |
| Description: |
Oil Power. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide by an unidentified photographer that was taken at the Passenger Station in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, c. 1962. Shown here (R to L) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5841 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All were built by GM-EMD. #5841 is an EP-20 built in August of 1947. Looks to me like it's had a close encounter of the third kind! Produced and distributed by FJC Products of Newport, Delaware. ("PrrFan18n") |

While I was out |

Slowing for Noel |
| Description: |
The 181 rolls toward the siding at Noel along Butler Creek, whose low water crossing is visible at right. Sometimes the water gets too high here, making this shot impossible. Today there will be no issue, and I will watch as its 75 autoracks, 1 articulated rack, and 10 stack platforms pass me by |

Wide view |
| Description: |
A wider view of the Holiday Train coming into Siloam Springs shows the reindeer on the engine, and the crowd that came out to watch. There were fewer people out to watch than the previous two years, perhaps due to the weather, which was 45/rain most of the day-and possibly that the train made only two stops, Joplin and Stilwell, on the trip south, the schedule available on the CPKC website, with little if any announcements to lineside communities. |
