BM 1749 |
Description: |
Extra 1749 east pops out of the east portal of Hoosac to be greeted by a pack of photogs. Reason for so many camera bugs was a fan trip due later on. East portal is tough to photograph as it is in shadow except for early morning in the summer, unless it's overcast. |

Still a couple of "wagons" in use. Actually, at this point in time the B&M had one F-7A, the 4266, and 5 F-7B's in service, but the delivery of the GP-38's (200-211) in Dec. 1973 spelled doom for the F's and any remaining Alco RS's. |

Description: |
The air in the Hoosac tunnel is so cool and moist it exits the vent shaft as a visible vapor. A train pushing the air ahead of it will occasionally accomplish the same effect at either portal. |
