Shadows Fall on a Doomed Giant
Title:  Shadows Fall on a Doomed Giant
Description:  CR 6773 waits for the scrappers torch at Naparano Iron. The shadows obscure much of the picture, but they match the somber mood. Especially if you're an Alco-holic. Date approximate. William S. Gripp photo, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum.

Retired rivals
Title:  Retired rivals
Description:  C425 no. 5080 and U25B no. 2616 were bitter rivals after the acrimonious end of the Alco/GE partnership. GE would vanquish Alco, but in this case the competing products are meeting the same end at the same time. John C. Benson photo, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum.

In storage, permanently
Title:  In storage, permanently
Description:  Although the Alcos were retired before or on Thanksgiving Day 1979, some were kept in storage in case of any unexpected traffic surges. Alas, this old warhorse kept in reserve is waiting for a call to action that will never come. There's no evidence U33B no. 2897 turned a wheel under its own power past this date, either.

Description:  C425 no. 5067 is at Morrison-Knudsen waiting to go to its new owner NYLE. It doesn't appear they used it for anything more than parts, though. Frank Vollhardt, Jr. photo, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum.

CR 6761 Waits in Anticipation of Preservation
Title:  CR 6761 Waits in Anticipation of Preservation
Description:  C630 no. 6761 may be whitelined, but unlike its roster mates, it's not being chopped up into razor blades. Instead, it has been acquired by the Reading Company Technical & Historical Society, who will restore it back to its original green and yellow livery with loco no. 5308. Note also the Tuscan Pennsy E-unit in the background. Unknown photographer, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum.
