Nice. Always happy to see those red nosed F's! Let's see. 1961. The train should probably have a heavyweight baggage car or two from the Fast Mail. One B-unit is going to be struggling to provide enough steam for the AC/Heating system for that many cars, since only the B's had steam generators. ABB probably more likely as 3 units should be enough tractive power for that length of train.

Keep 'em rollin' Ryan!

Thanks herb for the comment. I'll keep 'em rolling. I think I learned something new (about the B unit's function, that is).

The train crests the hill at Palmer Lake & begins rolling downhill.
