Tolu Solanke	General	In its Amtrak livery, X996 was arguably the rarest loco of the time! excelentt shot.	4/30/2016 1:32:29 PM

Alan Page	General	Thanks so much for the kind comment, Tolu! Amtrak and Conrail was throwing everything onto the NEC during those early days of the '77 Septa strike. The platform near the tracks was a great location in those days, but those flying locomotives put up quite an air blast as they roared by.	4/30/2016 2:41:04 PM
