The ‘Classic Rock’ of Dieseldom

Over the last year, Kris and I have made a habit of stopping of at Tamaqua, Pa., on our drives to and from I-81.

There’s almost always something of interest parked at the north end of Reading & Northern’s yard.

On our most recent visit we found a nice selection of vintage EMDs. Although most have been modified in one way or another since leaving the factory at La Grange, Illinois, these largely retain their traditional appearances.

For me, the diesels of the 1960s and 1970s are like Classic Rock hits from the same period; they are old, yet familiar and always a a pleasure to catch up with again from time to time.

I made these images using my Nikon Z7-II.
