SD50s for helpers |
| Description: |
This was unusual, as the SD 50 fleet ran system wide, and was not typically captive to such duty. The lead two units are the helpers here. |

Night at the Erie freight house |
| Description: |
CR 6611, a C32-8 unique to Conrail, sits outside the office in the old Erie freight house as it gets its switching orders. C 32-8s were uncommon here, as they were based out of Selkirk, and typically were found on the Boston Line over the Berkshires. |

Desert Storm |
| Description: |
We see OIBU at CP Johnson on the west side as it pickes up the empty coal hoppers pulled earlier from the NYSEG Goundy Station. The 144 car train is notable, aside from its length, for the second unit, a yellow ribbon painted on the side of SD 50 6707 to honor the troops who have gone to liberate Kuwait in the first Gulf War. |
