SOU 6905 |
| Description: |
A colorful assortment of power sits at the Ivy City Engine Terminal in Washington DC on a September day in 1975. Front and center is Southern Railway E8A 6905 (ex-SOU 2928, built 9/51), still in passenger service for the Southern Railway (which did not initially join the Amtrak system when it was formed in 1971). Hiding behind the E-unit is Baltimore & Ohio 6606, a steam-generator equipped GP9 used on Washington to Baltimore commuter trains. And behind that is an assortment of Amtrak SDP40F diesels (582 and, behind that, 609, with others not visible). |

Whatever works |
| Description: |
The period in the late 70s/early 80s was a transitional one for northeastern commuter operations, as the railroads shed these services, and they were assumed by various governmental agencies. Ex PRR and B&O trains in Washington and Baltimore were no exception. During that time, much of the original owners equipment was used, though it was not always under its auspices. One such train is seen here, a B&O run out to Brunswick MD. MDOT-now MARC-had not really come into its own, and there was a lot of interesting equipment. The B&O GP 9 is a classic, as are the ex B&O car behind it, helping out with the new regime. |
