CR 80065 Test Weight Car |
| Description: |
Track Scale Test Weight Car Conrail 80065, a "rear-end only" (in a train) beauty built in October of 1929, weighing in at exactly 80,000 pounds. Interesting old-school features include poling pockets (dimples at end corners of body), vertical brake staff with horizontal wheel, and a unique coupler "cut lever". Sign attached to railing reads: "Do not grease box or make repairs to this car unless directed by Scale Inspector." |

CR 7074 in basic black |
| Description: |
Conrail 7074 in a line of stored engines at the massive Conway, Pennsylvania yard in the Spring of 1983 (date approx). Note the metal banding holding the body doors shut on these engines - not a good sign. I don't know much about engine history, but judging from the style of numerals in the number boards, this was perhaps originally a Pennsylvania Railroad engine. |
