No idea. Could be from the RR fair in Baltimore.

There is a diesel switcher with RO-- in the background. I was thinking Rock Island.
They had an NW1 numbered 701.
I also thought that that CV stuff may have been used in the pageant.

What would have RO in the Baltimore area?

[rogruth]

The CV locomotive Pioneer and a CV coach were used/displayed at the fair.

Yes. They both got dragged out and displayed at all sorts of shows and fairs. I have quite a few photos of the Pioneer.

I still have hopes that SMR will import that engine....

Is it still at the B&O museum or back at the Strasburg museum?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Is it still at the B&O museum

The Pioneer is there.

or back at the Strasburg museum?

and that's where the CVRR combine is located.

Ah Rufus, you know us all too well!

Roger,

A bit hard to see, but look at the white lettering at the bottom of the pic, both left and right sides.
