Remarks & Notes 
Conrail locals on the northern end of the Hudson Line meet at Croton North, each with a pair of blue Penn Central/MTA FL9s. No one knew these units would get rebuilt then and live a second life for another twenty years so we were all scrambling to get us much of them on film as we could. Now even that second life is long ago over.
