Interchange
Title:  Interchange
Description:  A Conrail GP 15 is in the Pioneer Valley RR yard at Westfield Mass swapping inbound and outbound cars. Lucky catch!! I love shortlines, but sometimes seeing them in operation is the result of a lucky moment-or a lengthy search.

Working power
Title:  Working power
Description:  The unit working at Westfield on the Pioneer Valley was this CF 7, an older rebuild with the F unit cab intact, unlike the later units that had cabs more like the later GP and SD units. The Conrail local that brought the interchange cars in is at rear.
