Four motors east
Title:  Four motors east
Description:  Mostly-the trailing unit is an SD 40-2. Conrail was not shy about running four axle power on big trains, though here on the ex NYC it was a common thing for a long time. Still, its quite a contrast to todays world of six axle power on everything. This 115 car DNDA was eastbound at Dewitt.

Stacks past the station
Title:  Stacks past the station
Description:  Conrail as a rule would run trains away from the platforms for obvious reasons. Sometimes they found it necessary to run a train in the platform track, and it was quite impressive to see a stack train rolling past your nose, such as this one on a rainy Monday.

Rolling past the station
Title:  Rolling past the station
Description:  Sometimes trains bypassing Dewitt yard would roll past on the station track, such as this 136 car westbound. The odd road number is due to Conrail starting up a fleet of lease units, which were renumbered to distinguish them from their system power. They took a page out of New Havens playbook, giving them a leading zero on the road numbers.

Super vans
Title:  Super vans
Description:  Conrail, perhaps in a marketing move, decided to call some of its intermodal trains "Super Vans." They looked a lot like stack, TOFC and COFC trains. This one is SV 14 arriving at Dewitt with 115 stack platforms, heading for the pig terminal.
