Larry -

Definitely, the train is eastbound on Main 3, having just gone over the 
Brainerd Ave. grade crossing.  Looks like you took the picture from the now 
gone pedestrian crossing in front of the Stone Ave. station. What really 
strikes me, is the lead unit, an Alco Century 424. Not aware of many Alcos on 
the east end until an occassional NP or SP&S Alco would appear after the BN 
merger. Judging by the brake shoe smoke, it looks like he was slowing for a 
Congress Park setout.  Trailing the C-424 are 3 UP GP30s; two cabless or "B" 
units and a cabbed, or "A" unit; 9,150 horsepower - nice consist.
