LOL, new here much.

I had to look, been here 11 years, signed on not long before you.  Has it really been that long?  What's scariest is I've been armchairing it (buying stuff doesn't count as modeling) the whole time because my life has been in transition for that long - with moving back to Maryland from Cali to care for my father, several job incarnations, my dad's passing, an ugly estate contest, getting married and becoming a father, and getting stalked by a nutjob.  Looking forward to settling down finally this year if my transfer ever happens.

They were paired with non-dynamic SD38 units here.

Heh. I always thought the MT4s were always just paired to the GPs, and the MT6s were with the SD38s.

But your comment got me looking, and bam: http://conrailphotos.thecrhs.org/Images/CR-1023-9-1980

I was much more used to this: http://conrailphotos.thecrhs.org/Images/CR-7267-and-CR-1005-at-Morrisville-PA

I had no idea. Ya learn something new every day.

I think next time I'll just post my wish and then lock the topic, and let everyone else do their own thing in their own topic...      The schizophrenic free for all was not what I was hoping for.

Well, maybe if you made the topic a teeny bit more specific you'd get your wish. "Hey", just sayin'

Come on - this is the Railwire - the land of off-tangents. By now you should have realized that no topic is safe from being derailed or going off-course. 

EDIT: Now that I read the additional comments, I absolutely agree that the Subject you chose is an open invitation for everybody to chime in with their "Hey Atlas" wants.

Never saw MT6s at Oak Island (Newark) back then (circa 1980).  Only two pair of SD38/MT4 combos working the hump.

Interesting!

Did Oak Island have a hump back then?

Is it non-operational now?  The yard and the hump and the hump-yard tower are still there, as you can see them from the NJ Turnpike and US-1&9 and the elevated Doremus Avenue.  Yes, big-time back in the 1980s and 1990s, always active 24/7.

Yeah, of course it is. I'm just dumb... sorry.

It's former Lehigh Valley, pretty sure the hump has been in operation since the first half of the 20th century.  One thing great about it is that it's one of the few places you can still see active CR equipment, since it's in Shared-Assets territory.
