I'll add another eastbound fighting its way upgrade at Great Notch today, check out EL U36C 3328, SDP-45 3641 and a nice surprise, some 1st generation power in the mix, an EL F-7 followed a GP-7. The F-unit's were getting scarce by the early 70's on through freights. One of the reasons I added this train was not just the locomotive consist, but the fact a sharp looking Erie Lackawanna maintenance of way truck actually stopped on the Long Hill Road bridge to watch! Looks they paused to watch the freight make the climb, one employee is looking from above and a person at the gas station walked over to see the show. If only I had a video of all these trains fighting their way east. You can see the engineer was pouring on the sand for traction as he passed under the bridge approching the station.
