My favorite was in 1976, the Western Maryland offered a trip from Baltimore through the "Dutch Line" and on to Elkins and return. We had two black F7s until we got to Hagerstown where we added a circus colored F7. Then sometime after Cumberland one of the high nosed RS3s was added to provide extra dynamic braking for the Blackwater Canyon, . While decending the grade into the Blackwater Canyon we were told that movement between the coaches was prohibited. I soon found out why, the curvature was so sharp and changed so quickly that the door for the coach in front of the one I was in would completely disappear from view and then come back into alignment. After about an hour to explore the yard in Elkins we started back. What a trip up the grade!! Three F7s and two RS3s giving everything they had to keep the train going.
