Wow, what an undignified end to Conrail's fleet of ore jennies!

And what's more ironic is that NJT is rebuilding the cut-off very soon.

Interesting photo. Conrail was my all time favorite railroad, and their C36-7's were my favorite engines. Thankfully the OHCR has four of them, but since OHCR was sold to G&W I dont know what kind of future they'll have.

Great photo, Paul. I remember seeing the dirt trains in the Jersey City area when we would visit family. It was a neat train to watch as it usually had General Electric C39-8s and/or Dash 7s for power and a mix of PRR, Penn Central, and Conrail ore jennies.
