Slug set |
| Description: |
A visit to the Allentown area would not be complete without stopping by the PB&NE to see what their power was doing. They were unique in the area, having switcher-slug sets that worked the Bethlehem Steel plant there. This set poses in front of the yard tower. The mill is in the background. |

A switcher brings a trailer flat past Halsted St station en route back to Clyde yard in Cicero. BN still had quite a few end cabs at this time, and they were seen systemwide in yard and local service. |

Going to the torch |
| Description: |
A large group of CSX power is lined up at Conrails Allentown yard, probably en route to Naporano Iron & Metal in Newark for a date with the scrappers. Note the Ma & Pa and Maryland Midland box cars in the foreground. Allentown yard was always a colorful place to see power and rolling stock. |

Home road power |
| Description: |
The IHB was a busy road, with most Chicago area line haul roads running transfers over it. Every once in a while, youd catch some of the home road power, such as these three SWs rolling east just at sunset. |
