Reading Sandwich at Riverdale, IL

When Conrail was in its infancy and definitely before it was called Big Blue, you could wander into the IHB's Blue Island yard, whose east end was in Riverdale, and find this kind of stuff every day. They kept the neat stuff on the north side of the Harbor's yard, like this Reading GP35, stuffed between an EL U25B and a PennCentral GP35. Front and rear coupled? Yeah, I don't care, I'd still shoot it. How could you walk away from this scene without burning some film? Sometimes, I feel sorry for "purists" who wouldn't touch this.
