Paul, I have 8mm color movies I took while working at Dover Tower in 1970 of a former DL&W flanger working west powered by an RS3. As the train was at speed aprroaching the station, an air hose uncoupled and everything ground to a halt. The crew recoupoled the hose, got their air and continued operating westbound. Rich "Paul R.

My good friend Charlie Berkemeyer lent me a whole pile of B&W negatives he shot in the late 60s/early 70s, and I came across the attached gems: He managed to catch Port Jervis-based flanger 414190 being shoved by SDP45 3650 and trailed by caboose C336 on a frigid cold January 11, 1970. The attached shots show it going past the station platform at Arden, NY, and flying through Monroe, NY. Enjoy YOUR winter! :) - - Paul The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List Sponsored by the ELH&TS http://www.elhts.org - --------------------------------- Check out the all-new Yahoo!
