Great Grafton shot! A couple of notes: the 7577 is C&O, nee 7477. The C&O with the white background number boards is 7425, an SD35 rebuilt by EMD after a wreck shortly following its delivery. Note the raised dust bin, typical of later SD35 units. Also, note the older style center radiator fan on the SD50 at left. Dan Duggan

I meant to add in the previous note that the 7425 is not 7475, a C&O SD40 of the same vintage as the 7577. The 7475 was renumbered 7575 around 1975.
