Four motors east
Title:  Four motors east
Description:  Mostly-the trailing unit is an SD 40-2. Conrail was not shy about running four axle power on big trains, though here on the ex NYC it was a common thing for a long time. Still, its quite a contrast to todays world of six axle power on everything. This 115 car DNDA was eastbound at Dewitt.

Hazy westbound
Title:  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.
