Not my photo but its certainly worth the plug and sharing with everyone here as i beleive its an excellent example of night photography from yesteryear by Ed Kaspriske.

Enjoy, Tom Mugnano

Beautiful. I still remember my first sight of a GG-1 at track level, in Washington Union Station, in 1968.

G was the most beautiful ugly locomotive of all time!

1957??? Huh??? Did I miss something???

Great shot of a fantastic motor!

1957?

How did they get a 1977/78 Dodge van back to 1957?

Oh, the Flux Capacitator…

just great!

Yes, it is a nice shot, and technically very well done ! Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Except for the fact that it’s PC black - it’s a small miracle that such a “black hole” shows up at all ! However, since it can’t be the Tuscan Red with “cat’s whisker’s” stripes color scheme, I’ll just pretend that it’s the Brunswick Green (the reputed formula for which is “8 parts black & 1 part green”) livery instead . . .
