Unfortunately despite months of trying I still haven't heard back from that boards Administrator to be able to post on their board.
A couple notes about the picture:
- That's a GP18 delivered in its original colors in 1960
- The "Richmond Local" originated at Detroit East Yard and worked as far as Richmond although in the 1960's they usually turned at New Haven.
- There was a foundry in New Haven that was switched six days per week with about 10 cars per switch. 6 cars of scrap and two cars each of coke and sand. Most of the cars in the picture are from the foundry. It looks like they're running around their train to head back to Detroit.
If Man o' War sees this thread I know he'll be able to add to it. There's a couple other fella's that will appreciate this picture too.
