Old glory greats a band of Canadian visitors to Harrisburg as they roll 30J off of the Buffalo Line.
Proof that even a simple scheme can look good (and "businesslike") with big numbers, a herald and a sill stripe.
Not your usual Northeastern U-30C, what with the early carbody a paint job not inspired by soot and Adirondac, Adorondac, Adir.....different trucks.
Nice that some of these got the new paint before the end. My favorite spark arrestors.
Note to young railfans, this was about as boring as it got in those days and, by the way, this was yesterday.
The Strasburg Railroad ran an excursion with two of it's x-PRR steam locos in June of 1985. Here the train is crossing the Rockville Bridge
Norfolk-bound intermodal starts out of Harrisburg, lined for the Lurgan Branch.
Old meets new at the Harrisburg Amtrak station. GG1 4859 and a PRR wood caboose stand idle while the last car of Amtrak's eastbound Pennsylvanian rolls under the concourse.
112 is shown crossing the Susquehanna River on the ex Reading Railroad bridge.
Norfolk Southern eastbound RoadRailer 28A departs the east end of Rutherford yard while eastbound ethanol train 68Q waits for a crew in the background.
I'm glad I caught a few of these.
Nice paint job and you didn't have to count louvers, and fans and all that jazz.
Ex passenger unit which got a nice paint job finally. Did RDG change the louvers under the cab just so they could fit in the big herald?
