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. |

Loon line |
| Description: |
DABU rolls west at West Cameron. There were a pair of semaphores there, but not directly across from each other. I was out with some friends that day. They elected to set up by the eastbound signal for the shot. Typical for the time-always fans out on the Tier. |

Head end helpers |
| Description: |
Sometimes, due to train make up, the helpers were put up front. Typically this happened with Trailvans, but some other trains got them as well. Here we see a TV train on its way uphill. |

Westbound at the curve |
| Description: |
The train with the head end helpers passes the park at Horseshoe. Those were the days-an SD45, ex EL 3620, in the helper set, and an SD35 leading the train. |

Grab shot |
| Description: |
One of the best ways to see the engine tracks at CRs South Kearny yard was from the ex DLW commuter trains that ran along the north side of the yard. Unfortunately, it offered only the option of grab shots from the train. Still, the power could get interesting. Heres a pair of units typical of the era, with a patched but bleeding through ex PC unit. |
