New Jersey and New York, 1978

Seven photos taken in NJ and four at Rockaway Boulevard, Queens, plus modern preservation views.

Sierra Northern No 47, Sacramento River Train, Woodland, California, Sat 22 October 2011. The preserved 1952 Electromotive GP-7 diesel prepares to push the train out of the depot at Woodland. It will then run backwards to the picnic spot at Kiesel, with the engineer riding backwards as seen here and watching the road ahead through his mirror.
