Conrail Terminal
Title:  Conrail Terminal
Description:  In the early Conrail days, power was still stationed at Charleston although by the mid 1980s that ended as the local switching quickly evaporated. A very poor quality b/w shot(and camera) but probably one of the earliest rail photos I took. Thirty years later, the buildings remain but all the trackage seen here is gone....it is now covered with asphalt.
