Remarks & Notes 
A westbound Conrail freight doubles its train as it prepares to leave Allentown yard. There are two unusual locomotives in the consist. There’s an MT6 slug at the rear of the consist, probably headed to Enola or Altoona for work. The third unit is one of four U36B’s on Conrail’s roster. Originally built for Auto Train Corporation, the four GE’s, were never delivered due to Auto Train’s financial situation, and GE found a buyer in Conrail.
