Post your Train shots!

As seen in July 1976, a pair of battered Penn Central E Units take a commuter train out of Red Bank, NJ on the New York & Long Branch. That's the CNJ's BANK Tower at the left in the bottom shot. The tracks to the right lead to the CNJ's lines in south Jersey. [Nikkormat FTn, Plus-X film]
My guess would have been a Buick Riviera.
You got me wondering so I did some image searching on Google. Seems I was wrong it's a 1973 Pontiac LeMans Sport coupe. Seems I was close, but no cigar for me. :witless:
Have to disagree with that, my Mom had one. That car was an extreme fastback with the slope ending at the rear bumper. There would be no horizontal at the trunk and no vertical above the rear bumper. My guess of a Buick stems from the wheels don't look like PMD mags. Not that any of this matters.
What a neat tower & that car reminds me of the one Dad drove. He was a Pontiac guy through & through.
Back on topic trains.
No interesting old cars here just a GE center-cab working away in Carey OH. That big building takes large stones & converts them to limestone powder.

I think you are right a GP. All the GM cars of that era were so much the same. Change the badge was all it took.
You are so right!
Some scenes at Galesburg, IL in October 1976. Amtrak SDP-40F 587 seen in the first photo was destroyed in a wreck within the next year at its birthplace at LaGrange, IL on 08-27-1977 when its train collided with a freight train that had derailed minutes before.

Thanks Rob. I uploaded them again; we'll see what happens. This sometimes occurs, but I'm not sure why.
