Conrail time on the West Slope. Includes SD45-2 in coal service

Too bad the video quality then wasn't as good as it is now, but what a sonic treat!! That echo at Carney's crossing was awesome and nothing beats 645's with turbos howling away. I really enjoyed this-have spent time on the West Slope and camped out at the Curve in the 70's. Thanks for the memories!

At that time I was happy to have a video camera…..

@@ThomasEckhardt And I'm darned glad you did! I meant that it's too bad the tech wasn't there yet in the 80's-90's so I wanted to clarify my previous statement. 👍 And I neglected to say how the EMD's at the Curve shook the ground!

@@ThomasEckhardt Train watching had a *lot* more variety then! Early CR comes to mind. Haven't been out for a long time... how many GE wide cabs can you shoot?

LMS Stan’s for Locomotive Management System, a joint leasing company with CN to avoid paying duty if the engines stayed too long in Canada, I believe.
