Snowy OIBU
Title:  Snowy OIBU
Description:  OIBU passes Chemung with 68 cars on a snowy day in March. The calendar says spring is coming. Youd never know it. The scene will still look much like this in a month.

TV 263
Title:  TV 263
Description:  As stack trains became more common, Conrail added schedules to their line up to cover the non dedicated trains. One of them is TV 263, seen here rolling past Dewitt behind four GE's, all four axle, with 106 stack platforms and three COFC.

All GEs
Title:  All GEs
Description:  This was a pretty common power set on Conrail in those days. They had gone big for GEs, and had many 4 axle units, which did exactly what the did on the NYC-handle fast intermodal trains. The descendants of the U25B have 106 platforms and 3 COFC in hand as they head west.
