Journal Square |
| Description: |
A Conrail train ieaded from the ex Pennsy to the ex NYC rolls past the PATH station at Journal Square in Jersey City. This was an intresting place to see Conrail trains. At the time, you could see oot only diesel powered trains, but some with various electric units as well, including E33's, E44's and GG1's. CR 6520 was almost brand new on the date of this photo. |

Action on the Hack River bridge |
| Description: |
The PATH train from Jersey City to Newark sometimes yielded some good photo ops, if the timing was right. This time I got a train on the P&H line behind a set of SD40-2s, the lead unit one of the newest on the CR roster at the time, and the 5th from last such unit CR would acquire, the final SD40-2 being 6524. If only the PATH train had been a split second faster, the catenary support would not have cut off the pilot of the lead unit. Close but no cigar!! |

Dodging the shadows |
| Description: |
The great thing about Tioga Center was the semaphores; the down side was the hill to the west of the tracks, which made them go into shadow early. I had to dodge the shadows to get the power lit, meaning I had to pass up the "through the goalposts" signal shot. Still the blade on track 2 has not started to drop yet, and it can be seen above the lead stack. |
