Nice catches! I like the old Conrail blue, the classic EMD locomotives, the Leslie RS3L Air-Horn, and the ex Pennsylvania Railroad Tri-Light Signals a lot! Really nice!

13:40 one of the few instances I've come across of an SD80MAC paired with something other than another SD80MAC or an SD70MAC during the Conrail years. On line and working, too!

Opening train is at Donohoe Summit

15:09 how do you get there?

[@RailroadMediaArchive]

Probably drove up the maintainer's access road. Back then no one cared.

@@RailroadMediaArchive were you at the west end tunnel or the east end?

[@RailroadMediaArchive]

@@railsaviationvideography777 I didn't shoot this, but it looks like the east end.

5:00 That was the first time I've ever seen CR or any helper do that. That was very badass.

[@manderschannel2275]

Wow. There were more patched engines in 98 than I thought. Either way, great to see footage of last days of Conrail

[@geac9100]

Great vid, excellent camera work.

[@Hanksabutt]

Its interesting seeing a late 90s video with what seems an 80s camera.
