Conrail came into being 49 years ago\u2014April 1, 1976.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In honor of this momentous event for Northeastern Railroading, I am posting this view I made of Conrail SD40-2 6364 passing Lilly, Pa., on its ascent of the Alleghenies working the former Pennsylvania Railroad main line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was exposed on a sunny morning in November 1998, Conrail’s last full year as a Class-1 carrier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent more than 20 years photographing Conrail trains. Yet, it always amazes me how much of the Conrail network that I never saw in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
