Ahh... Brings back good memories. My vote for PCA!

Hey what a great shot Kevin. The double human aspect is nice but what'e even better is the combination of motion/action in the conductor grabbing the Form D papers combined with the interesting blue hues from the Quality SD60M unit, the engineer's plaid shirt and the block operators blue shirt and jeans. Plus you got one of those rare "all the same number" locos - fives wild!

I remember these days, too. It was a fun challenge at times when you had an engineer who didn't know the meaning of "slow down". I think I only had to "walk" for one of all the times I pulled an order from Jim L. or Bill Brown - now both retired.

Great picture. I put this in the "Hard To Do Again" category. PCA vote for sure.

As a local to this area, I have those never-a-dull-momment memmories of these events. It is interesting that you bring this photo up, I definitely agree on the "Hard To Do Again." :D ---FRED

That was one of the only Conrail units I ever got a shot of, and I was 6:
