| Title: |
Yard power, and a rare road unit |
| Description: |
Conrail used many of the ex PC SW1500s for local and yard jobs in the New York area. We see one here at Oak Point in company of a much more unusual unit, though a regular visitor to the city. Selkirk was home base to much of CRs GE fleet including the four U36Bs. They were a common sight on SELI/LISE and its occasional modification, SEOP/OPSE, the connection to the Long Island at Fresh Pond. U36B 2974 is on hand today, and will return to Selkirk later in the evening. |

WNOP17 arrives |
| Description: |
The job from Oak Point yard in the Bronx arrives with 69 interchange cars for the LIRR. The five GEs are more than usual-typically the consist was three units, sometimes four. Today we have three of the four U36Bs. |

Headed back |
| Description: |
WNOP17 has dropped its LIRR cars and picked up the 65 cars Long Island set out for them, and is now getting underway back to the Bronx. Of course, the sun dips behind a cloud for the shot I really wanted. |

| Title: |
Rare bird |
| Description: |
Really rare. Conrail had four U36Bs, units built for Auto Train that the car carrier could not pay for, so CR picked them up. They were based at Selkirk and used almost exclusively on the Hudson(I frequently saw them at Fresh Pond on the LIRR) and River Lines. They almost never ran anywhere else. Finding one in Binghamton was highly unusual, but, as sometimes happens with things that "never happen", here it is. |
