Album Info:On June 12th, I took Amtrak 151 down from Manassas to Roanoke, as i meeting up with a friend for a huge road trip. I railfanned on the platform while waiting for him, as i got to town an hour and a half before he did. (ha!). After we met up, we visited the Virginia Musuem Of Transportation, and then drove around the Roanoke area, in hunt of all things railroad, aviation, and trucking, before tying down for the night in a hotel, then road tripping in the morning. We went to Macungie, PA, for an antique truck show, but we went to the RBMN, Strasburg Railway, and the Railroad Musuem of Pennsylvania. Then we road tripped down to Roanoke, where i was then dropped off, then took Amtrak 66 back home. Enjoy my photos!

Conrail 2233
Title:  Conrail 2233
Description:  Conrail 2233 is this gorgeous EMD GP30 built in 1963 for the Pennsylvania Railroad. She served with the PRR until going to Penn Central, until later going to Conrail. She was retired from Conrail in the 80s, and was privately owned by the West Shore Railroad Corporation in Conrail paint, in use for excursions in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. In 1988, the 2233 was repainted into the units original Pennsylvania Railroad livery by the private owner. After the owner passed away, the 2233 went to the Railroad Musuem of Pennsylvania, in Strasburg, where shes on display today. What a life she has lived. One of my favorite things I have ever shot by far.
