PLMT
Title:  PLMT
Description:  Among the as needed moves were coal trains to a power plant in Mt Tom, Mass. These originated on the P&LE, and sometimes the power ran through. A lot of times, it came in with a variety of D&H or NYSW power, along with whatever CSX had to assist. One such train arrives at BD with an NYSW B 40 leading a pair of CSX units and a leaser.

Rolling by Crystal City
Title:  Rolling by Crystal City
Description:  A new(in the mid 80s) development in the DC area was Crystal City in Arlington VA, which sat next to National Airport(its Reagan now) and alongside the RF&P at a place known as RO, where it ended and the Pennsy began. B&O trains also came through here to reach Potomac Yard, which itself would fall to changing freight patterns over the next decade, becoming a fertile field for new real estate. CSX melded the RF&P-still independent then-and the B&O lines north of DC, connecting them with the southern half of CSX at Richmond. Heres train 405 rolling onto the RF&P at RO behind a mix of the new companys power.
