Ex Conrail SW |
| Description: |
This ex Conrail switcher was also used on excursion trains. I can recall seeing PC work the line back in the mid 70s. They used an SW 1500 then, so an end cab switcher is not out of place here. |

Working in the dark |
| Description: |
The power for FRSE is sitting at the yard office in Pittsfield, as the crew gets its paperwork together for their pck up. Eight units have the train in hand tonight, though I'm guessing the last four are in tow to Selkirk for servicing, almost home with their trip to Selkirk. |
