Penn Central

PC 885237

I got lucky on this photo. Note the repainted reporting marks and the mix of type used. According to the Official Register of Railway Equipment, this was the last Penn Central H44 on the Conrail roster. By the 1990's, all Penn Central H42's had been repainted in the Conrail scheme.

Pennsylvania Railroad

PRR 240397

PRR 240397

PRR 240397 was one of only two Pennsylvania Railroad H44 covered hoppers still in service in 1996. Once again, I got lucky catching this car and didn't even realize it was so rare. Of course, I figured anything still marked PRR in 1996 was rare.
