    Ah, the good old days of Conrail, we all miss it. I sure do miss the Leslie RS3L. But, I hear it every once and a while its sad. The good old days faded away. But probably the coolest thing on this video is those SD40-2s! Notching up it just sounds great!

    Another great compilation. The ore trains were definitely nice to see on video.

    Conrail made a good choice in the SD40-2 diesel. It had good low-speed traction, and was more reliable and fuel efficient than the SD45. I think Wikipedia says they bought 161 SD40-2's.

      The SD40-2 was the most popular locomotive of the day, with nearly 10'000 units, with Burlington Northern at the top.

      Is'nt it any wonder the SD40-2's were the most popular engine available from EMD for all class 1 railroads across the country!

    At 6:00, a late model Datsun? Before they were renamed Nissans...

      Looks like a 1980 model, Datsun changed to Nissan in 1984.

    I see there's a shot at Mertztown in this video. Was there a mechanical bell on the crossing in that time?

    • @fmnut

      yes.

    • @fmnut
      @fmnut  9 лет назад

      yes.

      Thanks. I've never found a picture of that crossing in the Conrail era. Guessing it was a WCH or Safetran?

      It was probably WRRS like most of the other gear from the Reading Era on this line.

      Well I hope you can find a video of that crossing in action one day. Maybe even Sonnen's Road if possible.
