Remarks & Notes

Push Up, Drift Down

Helpers move in both directions on Conrail’s main line at Bennington Curve, Pennsylvania. An SD45/SD40 pair are assisting a westbound auto parts train on Track 3, while an SD40/SDP45 duo head to Altoona for their next turn on Track 1.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
