In the rich orange sun, CR 6027 leads a late evening freight heading downgrade to Wyomissing Junction and beyond. Looks like the unit needs a little repair on the rear pilot. Notice how the coupler lift bar from the next locomotive in line has been banged into the MU receptacle? These levers should not do this!

By the time the mid-1990's came around, Conrail changed the nose handrails from a small horizontal version to one shaped more like an upside-down 'L,' as on this unit. Conrail also began complying with federal regulations during this time by applying ditch lights. Also notice the builder's plate area is empty.

Eastbound UWT-40 with CR 6034 C40-8 comes around the Buffalo/Pittsburgh connection at West 32nd St. UWT served the old Black River power plant at Fort Drum, which is the U.S. Army installation near Watertown, NY. It generated 60 megawatts primarily by burning coal, which Conrail delivered on unit coal trains with the symbol UWT. In 2014, however, the plant was converted by ReEnergy at a cost of $34 million to burn primarily "sustainably harvested local biomass" green energy.

We're along 6th Street in Harrisburg as CR 6034 brings up the rear of an eastbound loaded coal drag. Notice the bar spanning the hood and the rail behind the conductor's window.

Kevin writes: a relatively new C40-8 is leading the Oswego-bound TankTrain as it leaves the main and enters the Baldwinsville branch at CP 293 in Syracuse. This location was formerly known as 'SJ'. The fresh C-boat has yet to receive those goofy looking upside-down 'L-shaped' nose handrails.
