Description

According to the NYC roster at TheDieselShop NYC 8840 is an SW9 lettered for the Indian Harbor Belt. I assure you I did not PhotoShop the logo on the cab. I guess I'm going to have to dig through my Harbor pictures and see if I have any in this series (8835-8879).

Anyway... this unit rests between assignments in Whiting, Indiana in 1968... stripes, footboards, poling pockets, mechanical bell, and all.

At first I thought this was near Whiting Tower, crossing of the B&OCT Whiting Branch but the background seems too wide open. Just east of Front St is probably the location.
