BO 6948, RDG 6506, & BO 6600 |
| Description: |
This unlikely trio were heading up a mixed freight on this unknown day. B&O 6948 was a 1964 EMD. Reading #6506 was a 1963 EMD which was renumbered to 3625 in 1964, retired 6/25/81, traded into GE and then scrapped in 1981. The last trailing B&O #6600 was a 1956 EMD product. Date is approximate & based on the fact that RDG 6506 was built in 1963 and renumbered in 1964. Thanks to Rodney Miller (see comment below), the location is Cumberland, MD, near Mexico Tower. Thanks, Rodney! F. R. Kern Jr photo |
