UPDATE ON THE OCS: OCS-101-17 with Conrail E8A 4022, 4021, and 4020 with 6 business cars was right on schedule, passing Alliance, OH at 16:35 ET this afternoon.  The return from Toledo will be on Tuesday May 19. -Kevin Burkholder 

E44 ALMOST COMPLETE: Pennsylvania E44 4465 has emerged from Juniata Shops looking like it was just delivered to the PRR!  Unit is sporting the Brunswick Green paint with pin-stripes.  Unit is lacking number boards and some other minor items but will be released soon for the trip back to Strasburg, PA. 




We are readying the new site and preparing for our "magazine" format for a June 1 debut.  We are currently still looking for a few individuals to round out the debut.  We are in need of columnists from Indiana, Illinois, Florida and a few others.  We are also beginning to accept more photos/slides of news events and feature material.  If you are interested in joining the ERN staff or contributing feature material on a gratis basis (for now!), please contact Kevin Burkholder at ern-kevin@juno.com  or KBurkholder@psghs.edu (NOTE NEW E-MAIL ADDRESS) for more details.   
Please check this location daily, as new information will be posted, as it becomes available. If you have news to report or information regarding railroads in the Eastern United States, please send e-mail to Kevin Burkholder at ern-kevin@juno.com
