"changing era"

A changing era - rolling what could be nearing the end of her run B&O F7A 4597 crosses the Penn Central T&OC diamond in Fostoria, Ohio. The leader this day one of the new GP40-2's in the new Chessie scheme and this one, the 4108 one of the first few with a way over size B&O on the cab side and sporting killer silver trucks and fuel tank. This train out of Toledo Walbridge C&O yard will swing east on the B&O toward Willard on December 8, 1973. The 4597 and her sisters were rapidly disappearing as trade in material on the growing number of GP40 orders with EMD.
