Remember when the line up of power opposite the Sunnyside enginehouse in New York looked like this? This classic scene of four pin stripped GG1 electric locomotives occurred in June 1954.

Joseph A. Smith (1895-1978) was an avid collector of railroad photos, sharing many of them with fellow collectors in the Northeast. A former plumbing contractor, he presumably developed his interest in railroads through his father James H. Smith, a trolley motorman in Troy, NY. His extensive collection focused on the lines that once served Troy: Delaware & Hudson, Rutland, Boston & Maine and New York Central.
