In the rich orange sun 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-1990s came around, Conrail changed the nose handrails from a small horizontal job 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.

We're along 6th Street in Harrisburg as 6034 brings up the rear of an eastbound loaded coal drag. In this shot you can notice the bar that spans between the hood and the rail behind the conductor's window.

One of the few C40-8's I caught in the Quality scheme. Some of the C40-8's received aluminum window frames, while other units had theirs painted blue.

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. Ok, Kevin, but those goofy handrails did make it easier to climb around the pilot.
