Anyone can play
Title:  Anyone can play
Description:  In 1984, some of the smaller and older units had not been repainted, especially if they were not going to be around long. Here we see a GP 9 in LV paint, its heritage showing through the paint over, and a pair of switchers, one in the Raritan Valley scheme, one Reading. It was quite the rainbow.

Title:  U25B at Croxton
Description:  One model they were used to seeing on the EL was the U25B, so this one was right at home. The SW to its right WAS right at home!!

Description:  This CR unit gives away its heritage; for that matter, it has not strayed at all: same paint, same yard. The other units?? From all over.

Transfer
Title:  Transfer
Description:  A transfer from Harrisburg to Enola approaches the west end of the bridge with 99 cars behind power not often seen by this date. The GP 10s were fairly common on locals and yard jobs, but the end cab switchers were a vanishing breed by this time.
