LV pup
Title:  LV pup
Description:  For some reason I always wound up riding on rainy days. Either those were the only days I had available, or the rain just follows me around. The benefit was that it evened out the light when shooting places like Kearny from the DLW, which was normally a dark side photo. Here we see an ex LV "pup" SW 8 with another CR switcher.

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.

Dead Line
Title:  Dead Line
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.

Yard power
Title:  Yard power
Description:  There were mostly SW types on hand this day, but one of CRs Dewitt Geeps was also handling the chores. Not too long ago, it would have been SWs and GP 7s.

GP 30 at Croxton
Title:  GP 30 at Croxton
Description:  After CR took over, power started to show up everywhere on lines that did not previously see it. Here we see a GP 30 at Croxton on the ex EL, a line that never owned the model.
