Penn Central GG1 #4879 at DC Station May 1976

May 1976 and the US was getting ready for the Bi-Centennial Bash in about six weeks. "Watergate" had come into the national lexicon and Gerald Ford had become the first non-elected president.

Washington Union Station was being readied as a visitor center for the upcoming celebration but by late May was nowhere near ready. What was ready was Penn Central GG1 #4879 ready to leave for New York with the continuation of Southern Railway's "Cresent". Wearing dirty work clothes and steel toed work boots, no one even questioned me while taking photos that morning.
