Ballast extra |
Description: |
Its April, which means track work. Conrail was always upgrading something, and used literally trainloads of ballast. One of those trains strains to overcome gravity as it gets its 50 cars over the top at the summit. |

Moveable bridge |
Description: |
North Jersey had a number of moveable bridges over waterways that are no longer navigable, though to look at them, you have to wonder if they ever were. This one is on the ex NYC just north of the North Bergen yard. SEEN poses on the draw which will likely never open again, especially since there is now a road next to it. |

Working the yard |
Description: |
Conrail had a small yard at Lyons which served some local industry, and also as a set off point for trains ENSE and SEEN, which still ran to Enola via the Corning Secondary down through the Grand Canyon of PA and into the PRR Buffalo Line at Jersey Shore. This GP 38 was working there while we waited for other things to happen. |

Oh those vans |
Description: |
Conrail by the late 80s had become an intermodal powerhouse, and it was reaching a point where if you spent a day trackside on the ex NYC or PRR, the number of van trains about equalled the merchandise trains. TOFC was still pretty common in those days, and this train was typical. |

TV 7 four motors |
Description: |
Conrail had a lot of 4 axle power, which made sense here on the Water Level Route, which, as the name implies, had virtually no grades. Even as it went on a 6 axle spree, acquiring several hundred C40-8s and SD60s of a couple of variations, it ran a lot of its van trains with 4 motors, as we see on TV 7 with 68 cars here at Wanakah, west of Buffalo. |

Description: |
One of the things about the northeast in the summer is the haze. Even the Kodachrome days are muted due to the constant humidity. June is a prime month for that, as you can see with this westbound 141 car train at Wanakah. You can hardly see the signal masts less than a mile away. |

Western power |
Description: |
West of Buffalo you were more likely to see western road diesels, as a lot of them got turned back at Frontier. I didnt get a symbol on this train, but run through NPSE from North Platte Neb on the UP was a good bet for UP units. This 102 car train behind UP power will soon be in Buffalo. |

Westbound by the lock |
Description: |
Because the NYS Barge Canal-the Erie Canal-follows the Mohawk River so closely from Amstemdam to Utica, the tracks are never far away. One such place is Cranesville, near Amsterdam. The locks are open to the public, and make a great picnic spot, and a great rlace to watch the trains, such as this 125 car westbound rolling past Lock 10 |
