The Golden State is at speed as it blasts through Geneseo with a long train. This train was on the endangered species list of passenger trains, it would soon be dropped. This is the westbound train going at about 100 mph.

This one's a gem! Wow, 100 mph, heavyweight mail cars, and still plenty of passenger cars even in '67--that Golden State died hard! Thanks for sharing these classic shots. Kurt.
