Description:  RDG GP7 636 (CR 5838) works Abrams with fellow RDG yard mates SW1500 2766 and GP7 625, as well as CR GP10 7567. Watching the yard work at trackside and parking near the Abrams signal bridge were safe and typical happenings in the early days of Conrail. The sights, sounds and smells of typical RDG yard work may have stirred the heart of the smallest railfan at Abrams that day.

Former PC GP35 2338 and GP38 7856 pause
Title:  Former PC GP35 2338 and GP38 7856 pause
Description:  With former RDG SW1500 2770 in the foreground, PC GP35 2338 and GP38 7856 pause at Abrams yard in November, 1976. My railfan buddy unadvisedly crossed track 1 to take a closer shot of the PC units. Certainly, this was not a good idea safety wise even though I could keep an eye on any approaching traffic. Higher resolution Kodak Instamatic photo.
