Eastern Railroad Discussion > Penn Central and Conrail in and on former PC and CR

Just as the title says.... NS 1073 Penn Central and NS 8098 Conrail were put together along with NS 1011 on a 961 light power move from Elkhart, IN yesterday to Chicago, IL.... ironic pairing as both the PC and CR traversed from Elkhart on former Penn Central and then later Conrail rails. The predecessor pair currently sits in NS 47th St yard unassigned (well to me at least, theres a plan for them ultimately). No pics of them traveling the rails together, but a few snaps of them waiting for their next movement. Hopefully this pair will stay together on the Chicago turns for a few trips and i can get some action shots

1) 1073, 8098 and 1011 sit on the pit @ 47th St

2 just a solo shot of the 1073 and 8098

Last 2 are just closer roster shots of the PC and CR. This is only my 4th time seeing the Conrail unit but the 1st time ive been able to shoot it in decent light, shot it 2 other times but both times i got skunked by dark shadows and extreme cloud cover and the photos turned out like crap

Nice shots.

Hope they stay together for a little bit...

Me too!

What a lashup and I too hope they stay together and someone can grab a shot from someplace that also has an old shot of a PC/CR from decades ago.

Nice catch. Looking forward to seeing a few action photos.
