Local freight |
| Description: |
Commuter lines in Jersey are not known for having a lot of freight traffic, but in 1980 there was still enough on the Bay Head line to warrant a fairly sizeable train. Here we see the power up close, a new GP 15-1, a model CR bought 100 of not long after start up, with a train headed back to, I believe, Red Bank. |

Everyone is here |
| Description: |
Even a couple of Conrail units. Selkirk is looking like North Platte when it comes to run through power. Here we have a full view of the Santa Fe cowl unit, as well as power from NS, UP and CSX, as well as a partly hidden GP 30 rebuild from BN. Oh, there are some Conrail units here too. |

Conrail transfer |
| Description: |
A CR transfer of Sea Land containers roll past Forest Hill crossing behind a GP 15. I love all the signals and trackwork here. It just screams high density railroading. |

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 |
| 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. |
