Nostalgia & History > Conrail on the ex-PRR lines at Hudson,Oh

Dec 1978
At Hudson,Oh (se of Cleveland) a few Conrail engines.
The train to the left (led by ex-EL SDP45 6671) is sitting by the station headed to Cleveland on the ex-PRR Pittsburgh line.
The engines on the right are on the ex-PRR (Cleveland Akron & Columbus) line to Akron - Orrville and Columbus. That line is mostly abandoned today.
3633 was an ex-Reading GP35 while 3073 was a Penn Central GP40.
No tower here but I believe the signals and switches were controlled from a board in the station.

Correct.  There are pics of the board on the North American Interlockings site.  I'd provide a link, but the site doesn't allow hot links for some reason.  Google will find it for you.

Great sequence, the CAC was fairly busy until soon after C-day...
