CONRAIL OCS HITS THE ROAD  (repeated from yesterday)

Conrail is launching a "tour" of much of the system today for the Engineering Department.  The train departs Altoona, PA tonight and travels east to Abrams, PA.  From Abrams, the train conducts a whirlwind tour as far west as Elkhart, IN and Dearborn, MI.  The schedules for the OCS are available on the East Penn schedules page. -Kevin Burkholder

NYSW SD70M ON CONRAIL

New York Susquehanna & Western SD70M 4050 is currently operating on Conrail.  The unit was routed south out of Buffalo on Friday, arriving enola on ML-420.  Next assignment was on the HBBE-1X travelling to Allentown.  Assignment on NSAL-1 took the unit south to Hagerstown, MD where it was sent south on the Norfolk Southern.  The unit is paying back horsepower hours to the NS. - Kevin Burkholder

MAC-TRACK

Conrail began road testing SD70MAC's 4130 and 4131 between Altoona and Cresson, PA today.  The units are not equipped with cab signals and were "sandwiched" between a Conrail GP38-2 and SD40-2 but were on-line for testing.  Apparently the units were designed to CSX specifications and are not going to be equipped with cab signals.  The units should be released for service shortly. - Kevin Burkholder

 FORMER D&H GP38-2 ASSIGNMENTS

Since the CP Rail takeover of the Delaware & Hudson, the D&H GP38-2 fleet has remained on home rails.  Sam Botts has provided us with a look at the current fleet and their assignments.  The "Marks" column is the reporting marks that are shown in the computer.  Several of the "D&H" units wear the classic lightning stripe paint-scheme.  The CP units wear some form of CP Rail System paint and the St.L&H units wear the St. Lawrence & Hudson logo.  -Sam Botts
