Wow great picture Bruce. Never thought you would see PC last this long.

Hey look at that! A rare survivor! Thanks!

Conway, Sept, 1977. Still lots of PC survivors.

PC was swallowed by Conrail.

Hi Roger,
Glad to see you are still around.

PC was swallowed by Conrail.

And the reporting mark "PC" is currently owned by NS.

Great shot of that wonderfully dirty GP9 Charlie!!

Thanks Matt! Aren't those cool!? I bought some of the Green Frog production vids over the years...

Ralph

Your Welcome Ralph. Yeah they are cool. I sat there and watched them all.

With all the new threads for NS, CSX, UP, etc, I felt Ralph was getting left out.
All 3 were taken in the same place, Just west of East Palestine, Ohio in 76 and 77

Ahhh! THANK YOU Charlie!

I feel very fortunate to benefit from your treasure trove of PC photos! This recent collection really illustrates one of the best reasons to be a PC fan; the diversity of motive power and the railroad's willingness to lashup just about anything together. Love the U28C/F7 pairing in the top photo! Great stuff!!!!

There's a bunch of those in a warehouse parking lot in allentown...

Ralph, I think that the 6541 is a U33C. Either way, though, great pictures and a great thread.

Wayne

Yep, I checked a couple of PC roster sources and you're right! I haven't developed a sharp enough eye to notice big differences between some U boats. I checked the numbering system and see that both U28Cs and U33Cs are in the 6500 series but they can be distinguished by the last two numbers. (6534 is apparently the highest a U28C was numbered.) Are there identifying features on the loco itself that help you identify it as a U33C?
