Well, it's clearly after 1968, those locos painted Penn Central give that

Ah, I see John's got a probable explanation.

Amusingly earlier today my brother emailed me to ask where this shot (same
seller) was taken:

(Answer: Beech, looking northwest from under the Union Railroad tracks. I
pointed him at similar location shots at Davesrailpix to prove it)

He also pointed out this shot, taken by the Turtle Creek floodgates.
