Working in the dark
Title:  Working in the dark
Description:  The power for FRSE is sitting at the yard office in Pittsfield, as the crew gets its paperwork together for their pck up. Eight units have the train in hand tonight, though I'm guessing the last four are in tow to Selkirk for servicing, almost home with their trip to Selkirk.

Mixed freight and cement
Title:  Mixed freight and cement
Description:  An eastbound merchandise train approaches Syracuse, passing the Blue Circle plant. The two traling units are C30-7A's, a Conrail only unit that developed 3000 HP from a 12 cylinder power plant. The 50 units in the group were based in Syracuse and seen systemwide, but were a staple on the B&A.
