Conrail's ELSY8 works its way through Collinwood Yard on the Chicago Line. This manifest ran from Elkhart IN to DeWitt Yard in Syracuse NY (spending its entire run on ex New York Central rails). You may note GP38-2 8254's star, which designated her for an ongoing cost comparison program. She was brand new, having arrived in September. The GP40 was delivered to New York Central in July of 1967. And 6089 arrived on the EL as 3624 in May of 1968. The other photog seen in the picture is my friend from NJ. |
