Caption: The third of the series of shots of Merlin in May 1964, here's a clearer view of the Chesapeake and Ohio Merlin Station and surrounding area. In the scene are semaphore signals, train hoops, MofW boxcars, a bicycle leaning on the side of the station, and of course the 3-pack of nearly new EMD GP30's. C&O 3021 is leading this eastbound, waiting on a meet with a C&O westbound.

It’s destruction was a terrible crime.
