Remarks & Notes

The progression of Conrail’s power for high speed intermodal service is seen in this photo of train Mail-9.The newest power is represented by two month-old B40-8’s, followed by one of the B36-7’s that had been purchased five years prior, and a pair of GP40/GP40-2’s, which were the principal power on TV trains dating back to NYC/PRR days. Here, Mail-9 rolls west into Bethlehem through an area known as Steel City. To local railfans, this location is known as Wilt’s curve, named for local photographer Bob Wilt (and his father Harry), who frequently shot at this location, and maintained the trees and brush to keep the shot open.
