Nostalgia & History > 1996: A selection of freight.Date: 07/28/17 04:40 1996: A selection of freight. Author: bandob With a freight consist now occupying the main track at the B&O Museum, I thought it appropriate to share some of my other freight train photos from that year.
Photo 1: taken from the window of #30 in Cumberland. Note the C&O lettering. Photo 2: Conrail coming through Port Jervis, NY. Crowd of people are from one of the 614 trips, to be featured in a few days. Photo 3: Near Rossville, MD. Not all CSX freights were miles long.

The unit was sold to Con Agra in 1988, and photos from 2006-07 on rrpicturearchives.net show the unit in that "paint" job working for a Con Agra subsidiary at Hastings, MN. The unit has since been sold, and more recent aerial views of the Hastings facility show a trackmobile there. Date: 07/28/17 10:03 Re: 1996: A selection of freight. Author: 3rdswitch Excellent catch on the Gateway Eastern, I believe only one painted.
