Grand Central |
Description: |
No, its not the one youre thinking of. LISE soars over the Grand Central Parkway as it approaches Hell Gate. The parkway below leads to the Triboro Bridge, which runs alongside the railroad bridge into the Bronx. Its a great place to watch the action. |

Coming from New Haven |
Description: |
NHSE had a couple of routings over the years. For a while it was running south on the Hudson Line to Beacon, then the old New Haven Maybrook line to Cedar Hill. Most of the time it ran via Springfield and the Berkshires, such as this one topping the Berkshire summit with 80 cars in tow behind an unusual leader, as this was almost exclusively GE country for road power. |

Description: |
The power for FRSE is sitting at the yard office in Pittsfield, as the crew gets its paperwork together for their pck up. Eight units have the train in hand tonight, though I'm guessing the last four are in tow to Selkirk for servicing, almost home with their trip to Selkirk. |

Ballast extra |

Its April, which means track work. Conrail was always upgrading something, and used literally trainloads of ballast. One of those trains strains to overcome gravity as it gets its 50 cars over the top at the summit. |

Moveable bridge |
Description: |
North Jersey had a number of moveable bridges over waterways that are no longer navigable, though to look at them, you have to wonder if they ever were. This one is on the ex NYC just north of the North Bergen yard. SEEN poses on the draw which will likely never open again, especially since there is now a road next to it. |

Description: |
Conrail had a small yard at Lyons which served some local industry, and also as a set off point for trains ENSE and SEEN, which still ran to Enola via the Corning Secondary down through the Grand Canyon of PA and into the PRR Buffalo Line at Jersey Shore. This GP 38 was working there while we waited for other things to happen. |

Oh those vans |
Description: |
Conrail by the late 80s had become an intermodal powerhouse, and it was reaching a point where if you spent a day trackside on the ex NYC or PRR, the number of van trains about equalled the merchandise trains. TOFC was still pretty common in those days, and this train was typical. |

TV 7 four motors |
Description: |
Conrail had a lot of 4 axle power, which made sense here on the Water Level Route, which, as the name implies, had virtually no grades. Even as it went on a 6 axle spree, acquiring several hundred C40-8s and SD60s of a couple of variations, it ran a lot of its van trains with 4 motors, as we see on TV 7 with 68 cars here at Wanakah, west of Buffalo. |

Vans and more vans |
Description: |
Conrail had a good hold on the intermodal market in the east coast-Chicago lane. This 81 car westbound is one of the many van trains we saw while waiting for the NW 1218 trip to pass coming from Conneaut Oh. |

TV 203 |
Description: |
We were used to seeing TV 203, though usually it was rolling over Starrucca, or in the Canisteo valley. Seeing it on the Chicago Line was a new experience. Good as it was to see it in a different setting, the Tier is much more scenic. Today its rolling 80 stacks, 15 TOFC and 4 COFC west. |

Hazy westbound |
Description: |
One of the things about the northeast in the summer is the haze. Even the Kodachrome days are muted due to the constant humidity. June is a prime month for that, as you can see with this westbound 141 car train at Wanakah. You can hardly see the signal masts less than a mile away. |

Western power |
Description: |
West of Buffalo you were more likely to see western road diesels, as a lot of them got turned back at Frontier. I didnt get a symbol on this train, but run through NPSE from North Platte Neb on the UP was a good bet for UP units. This 102 car train behind UP power will soon be in Buffalo. |
