MDDE RS3m 1203, at DCR yard, Seaford, Delaware_
Too cool to ignore anymore. For many years I have wanted to photograph the short line Maryland & Delaware and their nicely painted "DeWitt Geeps". A little trip with Stan Short and Jack Bruce finally remedied that situation. Here the Federalsburg crew has just cut off their 3-car inbound train at the Delmarva Central RR yard. Under that long hood is a 12 cylinder 567 EMD engine in place of the ALCo 244 prime mover. MDDE has a trio of these that were redone by ConRail at the Juniata Shops in 1979 - all three were built for the Delaware Lackawanna & Western RR
