CP Wood is MP 34.8, Summit cut is MP 37, and E. Palestine is MP 48.9 at the Market Street crossing. The grade eastbound at Highland (Summit Cut) is .95% and there is a 5 degree curve in there too. It is rare today, but trains still stall on that grade.
It is a possibility those units had been sold to PNC and never patched, but the railroads usually insist on a patch so they are released from liability.
I saw many foreign roads in the first couple years of Conrail, and some I never photographed. :|
