power for Extra 378 west at Northtown |
| Description: |
NP 378 at Northtown followed by 3 "b" units 1 f3 and 2 f7's!!! Note the steam engine bell and the white class lamps above the number boards.... meaning an extra train created by the dispatcher to be given what rights that he the dispatcher might so wish to give!!! Running as Extra 378 west out of Northtown on the double track across Minnesota... they could become superior to a passenger train or a second section of a passenger train which would then display green class lamps for a second section following... or perhaps they might even run in the place of a passenger train thus fulfilling its schedule!!! Any of this could be possible--- if the dispatcher wished and willed for it to be so!!! And this is how it was, in the days before computers!!! |

| Description: |
"From the bridge on the other side of the engine house"--- perhaps there is more here than you might first notice!!! Is that an F3 "B" unit in the engine consist?! You can just barely make out the air tanks for the train &engine brakes on the top of the GP7/9 if you know where 2look!!! This made room 4larger fuel tanks!!! And those might even be 40ft wooden box cars--- i can't really say for sure/ this was 40 years ago, another place &time much different from 2day!!! No personal desk top computers &photo editers then!!! |
