Dave Frye Coll. - Here we see TV-5 leaving Beacon Park Yard in Boston, MA in the late 1970s. Conrail's new GP-40-2's, doing what Conrail purchased them to do, look fantastic in the setting sun.

Richard Shirey - When they took over the Monongahela in May 1993, Conrail inherited MGA's S23-7B "Super-7's" (MGA 2300-2310). Starting that very month, Conrail began upgrading the units to B30-7R's and repainting them into the Quality scheme. Here we see MGA 2300 prior to rebuilding leading a freight up the street in West Brownsville, PA during Labor Day Weekend 1991.

Rich Reinhart - We railfans tend to overlook the minor details that bring a railroad to life, such as signs. Here we see the sign greeting employees as they enter the yard in Allentown, PA in 1998.

Harry Scholtz - Harry was an EL man through and through, and often helped the CRCyc during the early days. Harry passed away a few years ago, but his memory still lives on here. He took this shot of HO tower at Horseheads, NY on a chilly autumn day in 1976.

Harry Scholtz - Harry shot the old board inside the tower, a sight we no longer see in our modern age.

Jim Shields - A late summer freight headed by SD-80MAC 4105 roars through Olmsted Falls, Ohio on August, 7th 1997.

Jim Shields - It's November 28, 1998 in Rocky Ridge, Ohio as 4106 SD-80MAC leads a freight.

Jim Shields - 4100 is the only power on an intermodal running through a late-season snow on April 23, 1996 in Vermillion, Ohio.

Robert Morrow - A shot of Elkhart Yard in Elkhart, Indiana during the winter of 1978.

John Prock - You will never be able to get a shot at the famous Gallitzin tunnels like this ever again. Though John took this shot on July 1, 1979, I would repeat the same set up from the same spot almost a year later. A former Penn Central SD-35, CR 6031, is heading westbound while a couple of friendly railfans watch in amazement. Do you now understand why we love Conrail during the 1970s so much?

John Prock - This is an awesome scene back when railfanning Conrail was so much fun! Camping out trackside at MP-241 just east of Horseshoe Curve in July 1980.

John Prock - A lash-up of two painted-out Reading Company units and some Penn Central units in the snow on February 11, 1978.

Stirling Woodin - Back in the 1970's, the Bethlehem roundhouse was busy with old LV ALCos, RDG SD-45s, and all sorts of oddball locomotives from the good old days. By the 1990s, Conrail abandoned the facility. This is what it looked like as of November 1997.

Stirling Woodin - On the same day as the photo above, Stirling also shot an overhead view of the east end of Allentown hump yard in November 1997. It's a great snapshot of Conrail at the time. Notice how little actual CR freight is there. Of course, a lot came off the CN down the old Lehigh River line and then got sorted here.

Marvin Perdue - Taldeo train depot in Bucyrus, Ohio on February 28, 2005 during a snow storm. They are restoring the old depot.
