My first road trip on the c.n.o.& t.p. was in 1982 , while looking thru some photos last nite i came across these
that i took at spring city in august of that year. the train is CS 117 , the daily Conrail run thru train. check out
the cool power. I had to share these right away !

That's a classic Mike. Great shot. :)
Mike, your awesome and interesting pictures never cease to amaze me! Show us more.
Good stuff Mike...back when CR power was exciting. I can remember back when i was knee high to a tree stump, that 117 was also a favorite of mine..always had blue power. There was another run though train, 151 maybe, that always had grand trunk and DT&I power, sometime with a DT&I caboose. Got shots of those...somewhere..
