Conrail C39-8 class unit 6000 charges out of Fort Montgomery Tunnel and over Popolopen Creek. You can see the long string of autoracks trailing behind for over a mile up the Hudson.
A friendly wave from our fireman completes the picture as RD77 roars past. We're in the hole at Shadeland on KD12, just west of Lafayette, IN. This is the old Wabash mainline to Kansas City.
