SD45 engine number 6502 is on the point of this New Haven train.
All twelve wheels are grinding hard as she pulls up a two percent grade.
Black smoke tinges the muddy sky and the ground shakes from her labor.
The exhaust blasts the Spring air. Flanges shriek in protest as it passes us by.

Interesting equipment you saw in action Jeff. This next photo shows two symbols of NJ Transit equipment at a meet near Lebanon New Jersey.
Of interest is a scene with a stern mother and her disobeying daughter arguing again. The daughter will later travel on the next bus to the Jersey shore to hook up with boring undisciplined youngsters to continue her descent into a miserable lifestyle with little chance for recovery. More's the pity.
