These are just those little treasures that you no longer see on modern railroads--a fully enclosed wooden speeder. Back in 1995 I saw one of these for sale at the First Frost swap meet in Allentown, PA. There are several speeder clubs that get permission to ride their gems along little used track.

The H30 is a classic post-war truss design made famous by the PRR. In 1978 Conrail rostered 13 of these PRR-era covered hoppers, with 11 painted in PRR colors while 2 were painted in PC colors. By the 1980s they were all off the roster, however some lingered in the shadows of various storage tracks, such as the 32326 below. I'm not sure if 32307 survived into Conrail, so it's posted here as an historical photo. Location: Buffalo, NY 11-5-73 Photo Revised: June 2, 2005 |

Lon Godshall, our illustrious official unofficial rolling stock editor, says that it would be cool to extend the H30 into an H32, which CR did paint into Iron oxide and gray. We'll see if he does this project and report on it if he does. For more information on H30's, see the April 2001 issue of Mainline Modeler.

John captured the 74011 still in its PC colors on a dreary day, but in 1979 Conrail repainted this car into its oxide red scheme, though they reclassed it as an H30B. At least that is the information Lon Godshall provided. Location: Philadelphia, PA 1988 Photo Revised: June 2, 2005 |

If memory serves, this flatcar was used in catenary service--a mobile platform that could be raised and lowered so men could work on the wires. Check out the old, rare Conrail auto boxcar off to the side! Location: Rutherford, PA 1-28-89 Photo Revised: June 2, 2005 |
