Nostalgia & History > A Real 3 X 3 Conrail StyleDate: 10/30/24 13:28 A Real 3 X 3 Conrail Style Author: overniteman A grungy Summer day has Conrail's Mail-3 slamming thru Duncannon on it's way West along the old Pennsy.
Up front are 3 GE B36-7's and 3 EMD GP40's.delivering some 19,000 h.p. About another 100 miles or so I can hear him talking to "Altoona East" dispatcher saying "We don't need any help".

JG Date: 10/30/24 17:57 Re: A Real 3 X 3 Conrail Style Author: ns2557 Them GE's did get up and move with some audible noises coming from them. One could really hear em along the river west out of Banks or east out View. Great shot. Thanks for sharing. Ben
