Old vs. New photos

[daveklepper]

The Swanberg photo showing an ex-Roger Williams Budd modified RDC cab unit next to the classically PRR painted GG1 at New Haven Motor Storage is terrific.  Worthy of comparison with the Broadway and 20th Century at Englewood!

Now will someone get a photo of a Philadelphia Route 15 Garrad Avenue PCC car under the NEC stone overpass with an Acela passing overhead?

Did the Central Vermont ever commission a painting or photo of one of their steamships under the Hell Gate Bridge with the Montrealer or Washingtonian passing underneath? 

of course this stuff is a daily experience with the San Francisco miracle that has 1929 Milan Peter Witts and 1948 PCC cars passing 1990? Breda light rail cars on Third Street.

 I did like that photo.

On my first visit to New York in 1977 arriving from Montreal, my train passed through Sunnyside Yard en route to Penn Station. I looked out of my compartment and saw 4935 in pinstrped green. I had heard nothing about its repainting and was just amazed. So I immediately knew that the photo was genuine.

But Dave's comment linking Montreal and 4935 brought it all back...
