From the Going Away School of rail pictures. I was surprised to see a heavy manufactured item leaving New England. It came off a ship at Boston Harbor.
At the higest point on the Penn Central in New England. Conrail is just gearing up and PC units along with sister units from EL have teamed up to bring the old Penn Central out of the dark ages.
The helper has just cut off the rear and the engineer is ready to throttle down the units. We are at the top of the grade, from this point east it is mostly down hill to Springfield.
