Would you like to share your Conrail photos with a large audience of fellow enthusiasts around the world? Want to correct or add some info?

For over 20 years, the CRCyc has been a community effort. We always need good photos of Conrail locomotives, rolling stock, MoW equipment, and so on. Just nothing that has been alterered by NS or CSX, which is why most locomotive photos end around 1999 since they got NS-stickered or CSX-renumbered.

We're also looking for predecessor photos of locomotives, rollimg stock, and such from April 1976 to May 1999. They were Conrail equipment after all.

Unlike those big fancy railfan photo bucket sites that have standards so high that they reject most submissions (especially from me!), I try to be sensible. How many of in the 1970's or 1980's had expensive camera rigs? I sure didn't. In 1976, I started with an old Brownie box camera that leaked light. (Ok, those photos I keep in the closet, but you get the point.)

I do ask that photos be decently lit and in focus. Around 1000-1200 pixels wide is good, though I won't scream if smaller. Take a look at what is posted here, and you'll get a good idea. Would you want to download the photo that you want to contribute? That has always been my rules of thumb. Remember to include any info on the photo, like the date and location, an interesting story about the item, and so on.

My goal is to use a form for submissions and contacting me. Until then, if you want to help out, please email me. I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks, Bob Waller
