NKP units # 419 and #420, Two of ten EMD GP7 units based out of Brewster.
The image is circa: late 1954. As of this date no more Steam Locomotives could
be serviced at Rook Yard. The NKP was then forced to Dieselize the
Hot Alphabet -Jet Traffic.

This Original Image Neg. show the first trip layover at Rook .
These new 1500 hp. GP7's spelled the end of the Berks. steam show.
