It's early in 1977, when xPC 7173 leads a crazy mixture of engines on a westbound freight out of Reading, PA. This was one of the earliest photos I took. I was still only 13 years old and borrowing my dad's faulty camera, which was from the 1960s.

CR 7508

CR 7508

CR 7508, a former New York Central unit, is working MoW service. CR 7508 was equipped to work passenger service. The original roster data I had showed that CR 7508 and a few other numbers around it never made it to Conrail as GP9's, but I have been proven wrong. I corrected the roster and paint roster to include these missing units. Sorry about. I'm just disappointed with myself that I took 20 years to realize this. Sigh.
