Title:  WCRL Locomotives
Description:  WCRL 1803 lets off some traditional Alco smoke as it backs with 4230 to start the engine change. Probably a surprising sight to the surrounding neighborhood considering this is an electric railroad yard. 30th Street Station can be seen at upper right behind the locomotives.
