"Historic Hoosac Tunnel," 1963
Title:  "Historic Hoosac Tunnel," 1963
Description:  Personal PC. Here is a postal card entitled "Historic Hoosac Tunnel." Postmarked: 19 August 1963. Sent to me by James W. Young, a chemist at the PRR's Altoona Test Plant. Caption On Reverse: "Modern diesel train emerging from east portal of historic Hoosac Tunnel. The tunnel, which passes under the Mohawk Trail in Massachusetts, is nearly five miles long. Completed in 1875 at a cost of 195 lives, it became a milestone in railroad engineering." The photographer is not identified.

BM 1749
Title:  BM 1749
Description:  Extra 1749 east pops out of the east portal of Hoosac to be greeted by a pack of photogs. Reason for so many camera bugs was a fan trip due later on. East portal is tough to photograph as it is in shadow except for early morning in the summer, unless it's overcast.

BM 1747
Title:  BM 1747
Description:  Still a couple of "wagons" in use. Actually, at this point in time the B&M had one F-7A, the 4266, and 5 F-7B's in service, but the delivery of the GP-38's (200-211) in Dec. 1973 spelled doom for the F's and any remaining Alco RS's.
