What are your feelings on Conrail

Bring her back yesterday and nationalize the whole damn nation's railroads this time

Orders on the Hoop

A westbound Conrail freight train is approaching Effingham, Illinois. The train is due to receive orders by way of paper “flimsies,” two of which can be seen in the order hoop.

This line was formerly Penn Central and Pennsylvania Railroad prior to that, as the distinctive signal indicates. The locomotive on point is a unique variation of the SDP45 built for the Erie Lackawanna, which was folded into Conrail on April 1st 1976.

One image by Richard Koenig; taken in February of 1979.

And now let me also share this piece- (almost) every new oc I made in 2023. Also a few ocs who have existed for years and finally got their designs this year. Which amounts to 28 characters here. (29 if you count the living sword)

Have any of you guys heard of the Tumbler Ridge Subdivision of BC rail

It was Canada's only high voltage AC electrified railroad but it was sadly de-electrified in 2000 by Canadian National and it's sadly I similar story for many other electrified railroads in north America including Mexican National Railways and the Trenton Cutoff and the Milwaukee Road's Pacific extension

Argentine Yard was a focal point for Santa Fe power on the eastern portion of their railroad. Evidence of the ill-fated SPSF merger was on display this day along with regular power and some Conrail intruders. June 28, 1986

We should revive ConRail and but call it the Liberated Rail Corperation because it would Liberate us from the Class 1 railroads, we could shorten it to Librail, and it wouldn't have to die again because the name would be such a popular pun, nobody would kill it

If Biden was a real union man like he likes to call himself, he would simply threaten to nationalize the rail infrastructure, prohibit private companies from shipping interstate, and bring back Conrail offering to hire anybody who's laid off or quits from the existing rail oligarchies.

Westbound from Avon

The first image here shows a westbound train ready to depart Avon Yard (in the distance, on the left hand side of the frame). We're on the former Big Four/NYC west of Indianapolis.

Conrail is two months old when these pictures were taken so the power standing off to the side is interesting—three units of the Erie Lackawanna along with a Penn Central unit with a Pennsy logo peeking out. Two of three EL units (SD45-2 and SDP45) were purchased with the idea of having larger fuel capacity for long runs from the east to Chicago without refueling.

The second image has the train down the line about six miles, directly south of Danville, Indiana. We're looking down on the railway from State Road 39.

Two images by Richard Koenig; taken June 5, 1976.
