Here's a New York Central passenger car  (NYC -> PC -> CONRAIL ... does that count?)

 

 

Let's keep "Merged into CONRAIL" going.

Other than PRR, NYC? Here we go! (hope you don't mind me stealing the lime light)

A little E-L action! (this site is giving me fits lately! I have to turn off compatibility view in order to post a pic... THEN next time I want to post one, I have to turn it back ON again!!!)

MORE Conrail forerunners please...

I hate to be a glory-hog but it's been 22 hours. Here's a CNJ hopper.

Not the greatest pic in the world. At one time this LV box, an NH box and a PC GP9 all sat on this unfinished siding.

Show me your local police cruiser.

Honest officer, I thought the speed limit WAS 60!

Maybe the Amtrak locomotives are a bit incongruous here, like a blast from Back To The Future! All in fun!

So after the local officer arrives... Show me a TOWTRUCK
