Checking the rails |
| Description: |
Conrail had a track inspection train that normally ran behind B23-7 1933, which was specially equipped for the task. Sometimes, on some of the less heavily trafficked lines. theyd go out with one unit and a track geometry car. Here we see such a situation, with a single GP 40-2 and Track Geometry car 21 rolling east on the Lehigh Line near Ulster PA. Its a far cry from GP 38s or C 420s in Cornell Red. |

The track geometry train has tied up on the east siding at Waverly. CR 1933 was the assigned power for this train, as it had equipment to work with the specialized sensors in the train. |

Conrail had a track geometry train that took all kinds of engineering measurments on the track structure. It was permanently assgined to B23-7 1933, which was specially outfitted to work with the equipment in the cars. We see it on the ex LV at Sayre, laying over for a trip down the Lehigh Line the next day. |
