CR 6720 |
| Description: |
Barely one month old, this SD50 unit was one of 135 that Conrail ordered from EMD between 1983-86. After serving CR for nearly 16 years, this loco became part of the CSX roster as their #8651. The color slide was taken by CR conductor Ken Taylor. |

A pair of Conrail SD50's |
| Description: |
A pair of Conrail SD50's, numbers 6727 & 6720, sit in the Conway, PA, yard waiting for their next assignment. These were two of 135 SD50's that Conrail purchased to help ease the power crunch as they retired many of the older inherited units like the Alcos Century models. CR conductor Ken Taylor caught these two in the yard. |

CR SD50 #6720 |
| Description: |
Heading up a freight rolling past the Conway yard tower is CR SD50 #6720 on this snowy November day in 1987. The loco would eventually trade in the CR blue for CSX yellow as their #8651. The slide was taken by CR conductor Ken Taylor who sat in his cab farther over. |

Coal east and a special signal |
| Description: |
A UNG coal train bound for NYSEG at Johnson City rolls east at Campville. The signal at right is notable for its hot box warning light, which is seen below the signal head. There was a hot box detector a mile to the east at MP 230.48 on track 1. If there was a hit, it would change the signal here to yellow, and the light underneath would light up with "hot box". It would also change the next signal, 233-1, at Hiawatha Road about 1.5 mile west, to red. That signal also had a hot box light. This detector predated the radio alarm detectors common nowadays, and the axle temps would read out on a tape in the Hornell dispatchers office. The train would have to call the dispatcher, who would review the tape, and tell the crew which axles to check. I saw this about a month after this photo. I was chasing TV 201 here when the signal dropped to approach, and the hot box light went on. Interesting system. |

Work train |
| Description: |
The guys who make it possible for the coal train to run go east on track 1 at Campville in a blaze of color as the JC coal train waits. The railfan chase vehicle is at far right. I was a route driver for a commercial laundry, which allowed me some freedom to watch the action while working. I didn't waste an opportunity. |
