Amtrak E60C Locomotives 609 & 621, Sunnyside Yard, NYC (2 of 4)
I took this Photograph on August 26, 1992 in the AMTRAK/New Jersey Transit Sunnyside Railroad Yard in Long Island City, Queens, (New York City) New York. It shows two General Electric built E60 Passenger Locomotives in Sunnyside Yard in Long Island City, Queens, New York.
Sunnyside Yard is the main Coach Yard for storing Passenger Cars of both Amtrak and New Jersey Transit during the day. Commuters take trains from New York City and New Jersey Suburbs traveling to Manhattan each morning and returning, after work, to their homes in the suburbs in the evening. Sunnyside Yard is near Harold Interlocking.
NOTE: U60's were only used for Long Distance Trains, so I don't know why they were found at Sunnyside Yard. You can see the New Jersey Transit Commuter Coaches in the background.
The E60C draws AC Electrical Power from the Overhead Catenary using the Locomotive's Pantograph and converts it DC Power for the Traction Motors which turn the Wheels of the Locomotive. For more detailed information about the E60C, See:
Disclaimer: Since I took this photo while I was still learning Photography, some of the original Negatives are of poor quality in both Exposure and Sharpness, which I could only partially correct with Adobe Photoshop™
I took this photograph with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 35 mm Single Lens Reflex Film Camera with Color Print Film and I scanned the Negatives to generate these Electronic Images.
