Working hard |
| Description: |
This BAL 727 had 59 cars of stone cresting the Berkshires behind three units, two of them Conrail only C32-8's. It made quite a noise, and I could hear it coming for miles. |

Ballast extra |
| Description: |
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. |

Everything all at once |
| Description: |
Seems it never rains but it pours. If theres one train, theres two. OIBU gets rolling west after working Binghamton, as BUME waits for it to clear so it can get up onto the Buffalo Runner, get a new crew, and head for its Guilford connection at Mechanicville. |
