Wow, is that classic or what. 1218 backs into Central Terminal at CP 437 to wait for a "sandblasted" Amtrak FL9 to crawl by eastbound before heading down the ex-Buffalo Creek main to the NKP main at CP DRAW. I rode one of those trips, it's a shame the bean counters, lawyers and insurance companies killed them.

1218's smoke box cover looks better painted in silver.
Today it's painted black.

No doubt my favorite locomotive along with 3254.

the 1218 belongs back in Virginia. I rode behind on excursion to Roanoke from Richmond in the early90's.

This is another vantage point of the Niagara Frontier NRHS trip to Erie, PA.

Old timers fest: Amtrak with an F-Unit, Conrail with a GP9 & Norfolk & Western with a steam engine.
