Shortly after C32-8 6619 emerged as a "Ballast Express" unit, it was pressed into service. Conrail BE 6619 and BE 6621 (still in blue paint but sublettered), team up to lead a loaded BAL-43D westbound past Lebanon Chemical in Avon, PA.

In the late 1980's, Chessie power often could be found leading on traffic orginating or terminating in Hagerstown, MD. B&O 4308 is leading a Conrail GP38-2 and GP40-2 on Conrail symbol WHLU-96 past the Harrisburg Amtrak station, after "swinging" off of the Lurgan Branch.

Known as the "Baby Boats", Seaboard Coast Line and Maine Central were the only interested roads in the lighter version of the U23B. U18B 1935 basks in bright Maryland sunshine outside the once bustling Brunswick shops. At the time of this photo in 1989, Brunswick shop forces were still busy prepping units for daily service.

For those that never witnessed a pair of Chessie GP40-2's on the Brunswick turntable, this shots for you! In 1989, B&O 4303 and C&O 4286 were nose to nose as they prepared to "take a spin". Not apparent in the photo, but definitely apparent while there, were numerous other GP's being worked on inside the roundhouse.
