Beginning shows the Gallitzin tunnel still open as it was closed when the Allegheny was widened to accommodate the double stacks.

Fantastic! This is the CR i knew and loved (and modeled!) I was a teen in the mid-90s and spent countless hours along this line, mostly in westmoreland county. In my opinion, one of the greatest eras in railroading.

The Conrail painting scheme resembled terminal operator's locomotive painting schemes. It looked so modern and well standardized for the time being. 💙🤍

Around the 4:50 mark one of the cars has a flat spot on a wheel, you can hear it. It sounds like something hitting the rails repeatedly. If you talk to any of the crew still working in Altoona what NS stands for they Will probably say Non-Sense and that is correct.

Conrail was a class act, much more so than Norfolk Southern.
