March of 1979, an SD35/GP35 combo, still in Penn Central black, leads WISE1x through Haworth.

Does anyone know any info on the WISE? Did it run from Edge Moore? As there was big GM plant down there, did this train handle cars for it? Thanks in advance for any info. Next shot is December of 1978, a wrecked GP9 (and a just old Erie Lackawanna RS3) in the deadline in Altoona.

Anyone have details on what happened to the GEEP? I found a website that said it was hit by a runaway boxcar in West Virginia. I’m curious when this happened? What were the circumstances? Thanks in advance for your help, and for looking.

First question was answered on another list… seems that my handwriting at age 17 must have been poor as there was no such train as WISE. It was the daily WASE, a Potomac Yard to Selkirk Yard run.
