A day in the past could be a year ago. I don't have exact dates on some of mine, just the month and year on some, so they will have to do when the exact day is unknown. It is still an excuse to post some older pictures.
If anyone is modeling a particular Conrail unit from late 1976 to 1979 and needs a picture let me know, If I have one I will be happy to email it or post it if I have it.

Well, I could use photos of Conrail GP18 7499, ex LV 305, and CR GP30 # 2168, ex RDG 3600.
And of course, as always, more electrics and commuter trains.
Dec 4, 1977 Conrail C30-7 at East Palestine. Hard to believe these were new units 36 years ago.[

Love the photos Charlie.

December 8, 2007, Kiski Junction Christmas train, Snow Dog Express. We did this to benefit the local animal shelter. The dog I have on lead is my pal Taff who died New Years day 2012. He came from the woods as a stray in 2004. He was a pure bred Samoyed. We miss him very much. He was a great guy.[

Do you have any shots of the passenger car consist, or only of the locomotives? I'm trying to get some prototype combinations of cars to model trains like the Broadway Limited.
A pair of GP-9s give a helping hand to an eastbound mixed freight. Dec. 10, 77[

Charlie---Great pictures (as always) from your outstanding and well-organized collection---I wish I could add some of my photos but the dates would be far from accurate
