I remember at about 5 or 6 falling in love with the GG-1's of the PRR. I took up photographing the rails in highschool about 1975 or so (certainly before Conrail on 04/01/76).

Or, like me, they considered the reactivation a major issue and voted for the incumbants.

Another article from the Salem News reports the state has ordered trains to begin blowing at this grade crossing effective immediately. Most neighbors are OK with it but some still have a problem with it. The mayor is complaining about it and compares trains blowing at every grade crossing to motori...

That is Baird's Farm on the NYS&W as noted above. It is a favorite location for photo runbys on excursions. I don't recall the trip this shot is from but it must be an excursion of somekind. Most likely NRHS or URHS.
