Four units east
Title:  Four units east
Description:  And a short train. BUOI rolls across the Kinney Rd crossing in Campville behind four EMDs with all of 37 cars. In a masterful show of efficiency, this same power set would return the next day on OIBU.

Rolling past the station
Title:  Rolling past the station
Description:  Sometimes trains bypassing Dewitt yard would roll past on the station track, such as this 136 car westbound. The odd road number is due to Conrail starting up a fleet of lease units, which were renumbered to distinguish them from their system power. They took a page out of New Havens playbook, giving them a leading zero on the road numbers.
