KCS 799 leading train #55 |
| Description: |
A KCS trio of a GP40-2, F7(A) Slug, and GP40, drag a freight across Essen Lane on their way from Shreveport to New Orleans. The train is either a #53 or #55(most likely) on the the "New Orleans Sub" of the "Louisiana & Arkansas Division" for the KCS. Train 55 usually had chemical empties returning to Baton Rouge. It also carried piggybacks. (53 ran the same route, but to Family Lines' Gentilly Yard) KCS 799 was part of a two unit order delivered August 1979, making it five years old in this shot. |

Day Bud on P&G Spur |
| Description: |
A rather rare move, the Day Bud LOF42 has come all the way up to Oxnard with some hot wood pulp cars for Proctor & Gamble. The train surprised me, peaking out behind the building like that. I heard Jaws theme song and snapped the shutter. |

The Sagus Local (LOF42) races south at track speed, heading out of Saugus and into Newhall with a single hopper and a single tank car. This neat looking Helm leaser has been on the train for the past couple weeks now. |

TV16a with a string of GP40-2s |
| Description: |
The GP40-2 was to Conrail what the Pontiac Trans Am was to high school - insular, fast, and snazzy. CR 3281 was a part of CR's first GP0-2 order which were delivered in Spring of 1977. The TV16 dated back to New York Central days and was a combined trailervan, autoracks train. TV16 would come in with the loaded autoracks behind the last vans. TV16 went in at CP-5 for running 1 or 3 Bellman's Creek and the cut was made behind the last North Bergen right on running 1 or 3. A local would bring the rear end crew up to Bellman's Creek to make the cut. |

Conrail TV10 at Dumont |
| Description: |
The new GP40-2s were a staple on Conrail Trailer Van trains on the old NYC West Shore. This hotshot train ran from Chicago to Croxton at the time. It should have left Chicago Englewood at 1:30a, reached Elkhart at 4:15a, Toledo TV at 9:00a, Cleveland at 1:15p, Buffalo 6:30p, DeWitt at 11:00p, Selkirk at 2:15a, and through here at about 8:00a. Judging by the length of the shadows it was running pretty close to on time on this day. |
