They would be on the High Line in Philadelphia hauling coke for USS from Clariton to Fairless. I do not recall the Conrail train symbol, maybe USF. There is a photo of this train in the Conrail Commodities book, in the Coal section. If they were hauling ore, I would think it would be train ZSR, unit iron ore Philadelphia Greenwich Pier to South Rankin (USS Edgar Thompson Plant Braddock, PA - a mile or so south of Rankin). That was a sight to see going west over the mountain. 16000 ton iron ore train versus 1.85% grade. 48 traction motors in eight six axil locomotives. Music to my ears. Thanks.Jeff
