A pair of new CR SD50's |
| Description: |
Delivered by EMD in April of 1985, CR SD50 #6783 sits with a "pack" of other blue CR units. The 135 SD50 units that Conrail ordered between 1983-86 took care of the growing power demand as shipping increased following the Staggers Act passage. After the CR breakup, this loco would become NS 5448. CR conductor Ken Taylor took the color slide of this CR "pack". |

Working hard |
| Description: |
SD 50s doing what they were bought for, rolling heavy trains across the main lines. The trailing unit is one of Conrails ten C30-7s, a model that sold well elsewhere. CR would acquire its step brother, the C30-7A, which got 3000 HP out of 12 cylinders. |

Backing down |
| Description: |
OIBU has made its set off at QD yard, and is now backing onto his train under the conductors watchful eye. He'll take 50 cars out of town today. Off to the far right, the power for WABH 11 is hiding over on the DLW side. |

Pulling |
| Description: |
OIBU has gotten back on his train and is now starting to pull its 50 cars west. We have here a good view of the station area. The concrete pad behind the lead unit is the location of the Erie station. Under the middle of the overpass is the Erie freight house, the red brick building. It will be torn down in 1999. In the right background, we see the station tower on the DLW station, as well as the steel frame of the Marconi tower, which was used to mount an antenna for an early radio application. To the left of the radio tower, we see the smokestack for the station powerhouse, which not only provided heat for the station, but also for the steam lines that heated the set out cars that were dropped or picked up here. |

Starting over the bridge |
| Description: |
The steelwork for the Chenango River bridge actually starts before the tracks are at the river bank, as the structure also vaults over Water St before reaching the water. OIBU is on this part of the bridge as we look up, about to cross the Chenango, and head out the west side. |

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. |
