Creeping Through Bethesda, April 19, 1982

Chessie (B&O) GP38 no 3848 makes its way through downtown Bethesda in the Spring of 1982. Photo by unknown. eBay purchase.

The local is slowly crossing Bethesda Ave on a sunny April day as it makes its way West toward Georgetown. Today’s turn has a single boxcar and caboose. The same loco is seen in another photo from four days later, previously posted to the blog! Note the “Radio …” text written within the blue of the Chessie logo on the nose. “Radio Equipped” graffiti, perhaps?
