Some Early Conrail on the River Line

Trains Magazine General Discussion

Back to scanning and pulled the following three images of early Conrail out to share (all taken in October of 1978 along the West Shore - as my dad always called it).

First we have a shabbily repainted Conrail SD35 leading an unidentified freight through downtown Teaneck.

Next, a former Reading GP35 takes the RUSE-0 through Haworth, and past the abandoned platform.

Finally, in an image I think I shared an earlier scan of, but rescanned to better results, a TV16a races through Dumont, north of CP13 behind some brand-spanking new GP40-2s.

Thanks for looking, and corrections are welcome.

Lovely shots as always!

I really need to do autumn in the east one of these years. I think I’ll be along the Hudson come October, hopefully with a trip through the Adirondacks on the way there. I’ll finally get to check out an Eastern Autumn!
