Glad to see my hometown railroad (Louisville & Nashville) represented right up front! Gotta say, that PC train does look good...
Beautiful... Only one nit to pick... The LPG Tank car with the orange band is a 1980's animal, a Canadian regulation to make the cars more visible for first responders.Here's a blog post from our own @cv_acr that gives some background.http://vanderheide.ca/blog/category/equipment/rolling-stock/freight-cars/tank-cars/that aside I'm loving the Pre Conrail goodness
Oooh! I did not know that. That's really good info for my mid 80s stuff.
The Railwire is not your personal army.
@Ed Kapuscinski Off topic, video background music, who was the musician and/or band, Maynard Ferguson? Back on topic, great looking Penn Central general merchandise train. Be careful, the PC borg might sweep you away from Conrail
Needs more stolen LS&BC boxcars http://www.trainweb.org/lsbc/theft.html
Man, I would LOVE for someone to do a run of those cars. I'd definitely be in for a few.Does anyone make the right cars?
Yeah, after doing this video a few years ago I realized I think I like Penn Central more than Conrail...
There was a HUGE change. I think there's something to it though. Post 82 Conrail was a railroad in recovery, getting its act together, and kicking a$$. It lost some patina, but gained a new character.
If you're going to do a PC vid, here's the only soundtrack you need...
The difference between the PC and post 1982 Conrail was night & day. There was a lot of RR history lost between 4-1-76 and '82, but after '82 it was pure carnage.
