Dead line
Title:  Dead line
Description:  There will be a bunch of these. The Enola dead line abounded with all kinds of diesels in the mid 80s. I took several photos from points along US 11/15 hoping to capture some of the power that would soon be going to its final rest. Some nuits still wore their pre Conrail garb-note the ex EL GP 35 to the right rear.

Description:  Retired units awaiting the end. That EL hopper in the foreground must be counting its blessings, as two of its former locomotive colleagues, a U36C and SDP45, are headed for the gallows.

Power in places youd never expect it.
Title:  Power in places youd never expect it.
Description:  One of the things about Conrail was that units would turn up in unusual places. While its not far from home, prior to CR, who would have expected a Reading GP 30 working on the PRR in Delaware?? As the combined like units in a certain area, power moved around some, and here we find the result. How about that Pennsy hopper!!

Dead Line
Title:  Dead Line
Description:  Enola engine facility is filled with diesels awaiting their final moments. There were many SW types present, marking the end of the end cab switcher era on Conrail. New GP 15's and B23's, as well as demoted U23's and GP 38's of various types took over much of the local and yard work.
