Remarks & Notes

Conrail’s yard in Lansdale, Pennsylvania served as a staging area for freight traffic on SEPTA’s North Penn, Doylestown, and Stony Creek branches. A local from Abrams Yard near King of Prussia would bring a train of inbound traffic to Lansdale, and return to Abrams with outbound cars. Typically the local from Lansdale operated push-pull style, with a loco on each end. This allowed the crew to serve both facing- and trailing-point sidings. Here a GP15-1 gets ready to leave to work along one of the lines. There’s another GP15-1 out of sight on the other end, ready to go.
