CR 2187. Photo summer of 77 or 78 |
Description: |
Penn Central still hadn't digested all its inventory (check out the NYC oval on the first unit) as Conrail begins its transition. Poor GP30 - ugly blue awaits ... |

View from the B&O belt line bridge looking to the southwest toward Pfaudler |
Description: |
This photograph is largely unremarkable – two PC freights on the mains, one powered with a GP40/GP30 combo. The track on the right is a leftover from the old four track main, now downgraded for mostly local use. The spur at the extreme bottom right is the lead to Robinson Clay Products. Of more interest is the group of four tracks curving away at the upper left – that’s the interchange with the PRR. It is difficult to make out, but the Pfaudler K-52-1 track is to the right of the Pennsy interchange along the pavement at the left of the small building. This photo is from 1974 or so. |

C&O GP30 3012 on today's local - pic 1 of 10 |
Description: |
March 1975 approximate - could be 1976. I left the car in the Latta Lea golf course parking lot and walked over to find C&O 3012 and B&O 3542 picking up a couple of empties out of Greece Lumber. |

C&O GP30 3012 on today's local - pic 3 of 10 |
Description: |
Southbound, about to cross Denise Rd. Both Denise and Britton Roads were protected by crossbucks only and the crews had more or less permanent "stop & flag" instructions because of the reduced sight lines. The family on the left (red fence) grew corn every year. Still a month or two from planting time. |

Description: |
Southbound, approaching Dock Junction. The docks have been closed for a couple of years, but the tracks are still in place. From right to left - the lead to the docks, a siding off the dock lead, the main, and another siding. Bennington Drive is out of sight to the left. The dock lead bridge over the NYC is out of sight behind me on the right. |

Description: |
Southbound with Dewey Ave. the next crossing (about a mile away). Note the Dock Junction BR&P era concrete phone booth. The stone appears to be dropped for the RG&E crews (new power poles on the right). The B&O's ballast was mostly cinders and certainly wasn't kept up after the docks closed. |

Description: |
Earlier that day, the crew worked Kodak. The last move left the Kodak go-aways tied down on the main while they went down to switch Greece Lumber. Note the switch is still lined from that last move. |

The brakie has dropped off and is lining the switch for the main in order to add the Greece Lumber empties to the Kodak outbounds. Note the silver signal box on the right. Do you think Tim & Lynn are still a thing? |

Description: |
The train has been assembled, but there's still more switching to be done inside Kodak. The crew waits on the relatively "new" lead for the Kodak security guard. To the left, note the poplars are gone and Kodak has planted a string of pine trees. Note also the concrete BR&P era phone booth on the right. |
