The shot at left was sent to me by Fred Ripley, former WKNRHS member now living in Columbus, OH.  Fred has done a great deal of photography on the C&O as mentioned in my editorial.  There’s a lot of Chessie heritage in this shot at Levisa Jct.  4070 et. al. is entering Coon Creek SD with empties for Johns Creek, May 7, 1978.  Fred has scanned many of his slides for the book, Chesapeake & Ohio – The Decades of Change – 1961-1981.  Several of his shots were used.
