Thanks to Charlie! Downloaded the Image Resizer to add the photo below:
That's a Conrail Rainbow lashup if I ever saw one - beat up mix of GE/GM and Alco power rolling under Route 80 in White Haven, PA. The leader is a U25B I believe (Stewart) that I modified with CR patches on the front nose, sides and rear followed by a Bachman Spectrum GP30 (bought it as a B&O unit) in Penn Central livery, followed by a CR patched C628 (Stewart undecorated), followed by another C628 Stewart still in LV colors. All of the power has been properly weathered to represent the bankrupt railroads where these beasts were pulled from in 1976. The bridge is a brainchild of mine inspired by work with Clever Models paper kits - they have some freebies, one of which is a lattice girder and column kit combined with their girder bridge kit. The deck is a piece of foam board and then it's finished off with some plastic jersey walls. I only have the eastbound span in this picture.
