Here's my dad's pic of a Chessie Steam Special heading through Darby PA, on its way from Philadelphia to to Baltimore in September 1978.

I was standing next to him when he took this shot, I think... I know I saw and shot the Steam Special with him that day, and I wasn't driving yet, but I have no memory of this spot, so I'm not 100% sure.
