An Eastbound CR freight stops at SR Tower to add the Gulf Summit helper to its consist. U36-C #6590 will be added behind the 2276 for the trip to Deposit.

CR GP35 2292 (ex-PC 2292) and GP38-2 7983 (ex-PC 7983) are leading a coal train out of Enola Yard onto Rockville Bridge at Marysville, PA in 1979.

Conrail GP35 2298 is seen in charge of a westbound freight at Princeton Junction in West Windsor, NJ on a hazy August 17th, 1979.

The power on an Eastbound backs up to work the Binghamton yard. The BAR engine was a leaser.
12
A pair of engines and a caboose are parked at the little yard in Ridgway. If I remember correctly, this was right along the main road thru town.

A rather shortlived symbol MECR (Meadville-Croxton, Secaucus,NJ)-4 rolls through the interlocking at Ridgewood Jct, NJ

GP 35 2327 leads RESE out of the big cut at Washington depot, MA. on Feb. 20, 1982.

As a N&W coal train glides above, a Conrail westbound passes the east end of Orrville yards. Today the Conrail is the NS, the N&W is the Wheeling. Numbers include 2339, 3050, 8168, and 3135.

A Westbound hopper train waits on the East side of Altoona. Lots of variety in the power on this train.

GP35 2358 at the head end of an eastbound coming into the station in Springfield, MA. on May 5, 1979.

The salt train power is on isolated trackage at P&L Jct. The train used Chessie trackage rights from Rochester to P&L Jct. to get to its own track in the Caledonia area. The track that the power is heading down is the old NYC "Peanut Line" that once ran from Batavia to Canandaigua. A short section of this line is all that remained at the time of CR, and it ran a couple of miles from P&L Jct. to downtown Caledonia. There is a chemical customer at the end of this spur in Caledonia. CR would often park the salt train power down in Caledonia when the crew outlawed. This trackage is all still in use today by the R&S.

A westbound with a pair of GP35's and a GP38-2 pass through the QD tower area of Collinwood, Ohio on a nice February 1983 day.

A pair of former NYC units rest near the former Reading Lines coaling tower in Rutherford, Pa. in October 1977. As was common with many NYC units, the 2395 is not equipped with dynamic brakes.
27
A Conrail w/b rounds the big curve west of CP Wood as 1976 draws to a close. The Reading Lines and Penn Central units are still "pure", but that ex EL SD45-2 already has it's new CR number of 6664. In a few short miles this train will be in Ohio in this December 1976 scene at Homewood, Pa.

2 CR freights are in the Sayre yard as viewed from the famous Sayre footbridge.

Assorted power at the service tracks and a RDG GP-35 leading a freight from the yard.

The Sayre footbridge was still a good spot to view colorful lashups during early CR.
