Everyone is here
Title:  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
Title:  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
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.
