Beautiful - are those MD Dept of Transportation Units in the background?

Why did they use a Reading locomotive - Reading became part of Conrail. Neat nonetheless. The units in the background are Amtrak SDP40Fs.

Wow -- now that's a surprise to remember! I can't imagine going railfanning for one thing, and seeing a steam-hauled special show up first! Excellent photo Tim!

This has got to be my all time favorite train in the world.. My dream is to hopefully purchase it and restore it to operating condition one day.
