Conrail Cresson 1998

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Great footage from the "Quality" era. The frame trains were among my favorite.

Wonderful time of year, scenery -wise - to shoot trains. Gorgeous scenery up that way. It's striking to watch those trains splice that wooded area. About every type of freight train here, and, mostly hood units, but wide cabs really making their presence known at this point. I loved those last GE hood units - C40-8s, C9-44s, and Conrail's staple SD40-2s. Seems like GEs were prominent in the New England states - C30-7s, B30-7s, based on Conrail vids from that area. Great editing on this...never a dull moment.

Great stuff, took me almost 10 years to find this! My favorite thing about footage in Appalachia, aside from scenery, is the classic sound of that high-throttle whining from the EMDs

Excellent video. Cassandra is still my favourite place to railfan.

[@ChadsRailfanExperience]

Miss those days for sure

[@markderinger6866]

These are some awesome videos of trains pulling their HP.

All that clean blue paint; too cool. And almost no graffiti.

Love that Old LMPI WITH ALL OF THE AUTOPARTS LMPI LINDEN/ Metchuen, NJ to Conway Yard the Counterpart part Goes via Selkirk as TOMT

[@johnjablonski553]

Conrail was the best rail road in the Mid Atlantic states ( Reading, Pennsy, LV,, NYC ,, CNJ ) and now we get get stuck with NS

[@fmnut]

That's how we felt about Conrail in the late 70's, like we were robbed of all the cool lines and stuck with this faceless big blue THING! It took a few years for Conrail to grow on many railfans, but now there are 2 generations that grew up only knowing Big Blue and view it with nostalgia.

31:36 I love the foreshadowing behind that lmao

[@Kanawha_Railfan]

What's even funnier is that CR 6445 actually went to NS as their 3379. NS eventually sold off the 3379 to Genessee & Wyoming.

[@Steelers2841]

Love the Next 2 Trains. STES &ML440 Both Trains just North of Detroit Sterling Yard

[@Steelers2841]

Conrail was the Best Railroad that Ran the Heaviest Eastbounds Manifest Trains and Coal Trains East of Pittsburgh

Good Night Victor , Hope you have a Terrific Weekend

[@maxm2317]

Just for the record, the "Broadway Limited" was renamed "The Three Rivers" by that time.

[@fmnut]

Thanks for that correction, it all seems to run together after 40 plus years in the game.!

[@maxm2317]

Yup.

[@tedcartwright3183]

Great place to sit and enjoy. Get much night traffic ?

[@fmnut]

All day, all night. I will post a video from a recent visit that has some night shots on it.

[@fiatman71]
