On a frosty morning, Conrail PIOI (PIttsburgh-Oak Island) is heading East passed the giant water tower that railfan's tried (and still do) to work into their photos.
Powering the PIOI is EMD SD40 6283 with GP40 3209, SD40-2 6418, B40-8 5064 & GP40-2 3282.

Manville, New Jersey.

And on the single track "River Line" that at one time belonged to the New York Central, a pair of "bug eye" marker light equipped EMD GP40-2's and a pair of GE B36-7's bring another intermodal South bound for Kearny, New Jersey.

Bear Mountain, New York.
May, 1985.
