| Here is an original photo by Douglas C. Jones that was taken at the Ivy City Yard in Washington, D.C., c. 1953. Among the six diesel-electric locomotives pictured here are (R to L) Richmond, Fredericksburg, & Potomac Railroad engines #1010 and #1011. Both are E8A's built by GM-EMD in August of 1952 and rated at 2,250 horsepower each. Visible in the left background is the soon-to-be-obsolete Coaling Tipple. |
