Nostalgia & History > Conrail Color - EL 2504Date: 07/19/18 23:59 Conrail Color - EL 2504 Author: refarkas EL 2504, RDG 3604, and PC 1730 are westbound in Akron, Ohio on the morning of June 12, 1976. This was early Conrail, so no longer would this be an EL freight. It might be headed to the Conrail (Ex-PC) yard in Akron, to Creston, or to Warwick and then on to Massillon or Columbus.
