Very interesting shot. This is an empty field in the middle of a very busy a wye today. Cool to see what used to be here.

Notice the numberboards on the front and rear E7s, compared to 510 (also supplied on GN 511 and 512,) in the center. The larger fixtures are the EMD factory issue, and match those on F3 353A in the foreground, while the smaller ones are GN-made, to replace the original small, side-mounted type, delivered on E7s 500-509, and also on GN's FTs. This begs the question, did GN's home-made, 45-degree angled indicators, pre-date EMD's own part?

Interesting difference in paint-scheme-design between the E-7's; the farthest back unit is one I do not recall ever seeing.

I love the geometry in this photo. That's what made me click on the thumbnail. It has a painting feel too, a painting capturing the very real feel of a single moment in time.

Timeless photo. Thanks for sharing

More photos from the collection of Wallace W. Abbey, please. I bet he even took some great shots of the fantastic red & white SOO scheme that he designed. ;)

Great shot indeed!

@ Sport, that E7 in the background is the original factory paint scheme for those units. You can find many photos of it on the net.
