| 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. |

6070 ROCKS |
| Description: |
By Esther Fairchild. CSXT 6070 (still showing its former C&O initials) and three others bring a train westbound off the B&O "Old Main Line" by the beautiful Point of Rocks station and on toward Brunswick and Cumberland, Maryland in the Spring of 1987 (date approx). About this picture, Esther says: "In the little room at the front of the station (closest to the camera) there was a radio which the maintenance guys left on all the time, so if you stood by the window for a while you could hear different trains talking and get an idea of what trains might be coming. My main interest at the time was the old buildings in the area, not the trains, but pretty soon I got hooked on train-watching. That shadow on the brick platform isn't a UFO following me around; it's the shadow of a platform lamp - the long shape is the famous cast-iron Point of Rocks station sign." (thanks to contributor Jim Bruce for correcting us on the owner of the 6070) |

Havre de Grace-ful |
| Description: |
By Esther Fairchild: Northbound Amtrak train starts across the big Susquehanna River bridge on the Northeast Corridor at Havre de Grace, Maryland in the Fall of 1987 (date approx.). About this picture, Esther comments: "To me the interesting thing here is that you can see four bridges across the river: The PRR (Amtrak) bridge, the Pulaski Highway (Route 40) bridge, the B&O (Chessie) railroad bridge, and the Kennedy Highway (I-95) bridge, all in a row." |
