In this November 1967 photo, the crew is headed east with three cars after switching Pfaudler, sporting a fancy S-2 with Jerry Blunt trucks and a nice paint job. Location is on West Ave. right in front of the GRS main entrance. Per DRBrown, "that yard job with the 9637 would be YT-1. They were on duty roughly 0700, train was usually made up on track 04. They took cars for the B&O, the PRR, and firms such as GRS and Pfaudler. Conductor was Lloyd Swartz, one brakeman was O.R. Brown, and I'll be darned if I can place a name to the guy in the photo. Caboose assigned to the job at that time was 18897, a rather odd-looking series which NYC acquired with the T&OC. Unlike most jobs, YT-1 left Goodman Street with the caboose on the head pin." |
