CR 8657 at Ashmore, PA on AH-1 10/13/77

A quintet of former LV pups bring a train through the anthracite coal fields at Ashmore Junction, just outside of Hazleton. No details are on this slide other than date, but it is most likely train AH-1 making its northward trek from Allentown to Hazleton. While most of the switchers inherited from LV were the SW8 model, the 8657 was an SW900
