Chessie System EMD GP9 locomotive # 6481 (former B&O), is seen switching freight cars next to the Northeast Corridor near the Ivy City Railroad Yard in Washington, D.C., June 1976. A crewman is seen onboard the steps of the locomotive ready to perform his switching duties. The Ivy City Railroad Yard is out of sight behind the camera and the GP9 is operating on a service line that connects to various business and manufacturing facilities along the route. A catenary support bridge with the Pennsylvania Railroad style position block signals are captured in the photo. At this time the Northeast Corridor in this area was still using standard jointed section rail.
