My photo of former Conrail GP30 2233 appears on the cover of the April 2026 Friends of the Railroad Museum Milepost<\/em>, a glossy publication published by and for the Friends of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This image is timely, since April 1st marked the 50th anniversary of Conrail assuming operations of bankrupt Northeastern railroads (Penn Central, Erie Lackawanna, Reading, Lehigh Valley etc). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This also nicely coincides with the topic of my next Railroad Photography class at the Museum, which will focus on equipment displays relating to Conrail and its precursors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advertisement for the class reads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
