Thanks guys, I think I am going to stick with a CSAO operation.

I have a question about what type of locomotives would work a branch-line, would it only be Geeps?

When I do get around to getting a Conrail loco I want to get one with sound, the only two I could find were a GP20 which I know were scrapped in the 80's, and a U-25b, If all else fails I could move the date back to the 80's

If you're doing CSAO, just get an NS or CSX Geep. There are fewer and fewer Conrail blue units around.

Pretty much just geeps these days. there was ONE time I saw a pair of SWs on the Pemberton branch, but they were strange, a red coat of paint! I'm assuming they were lease units, but I have no idea what the story was. I've seen photos of 4 axle Dash-7s on the line to Pemberton to, but CSX got rid of most of these units a while ago. NS got rid of all their GP15-1s 4 years ago, and CSX only has retired many of their balance of the former Conrail GP15s as well.

Here is a picture of an NS GP40-2 and an CSX B36-7. The only weirder pair i've seen was NS patch of a conrail GP15-1 (#1427) with an NS High-hood GP38 (5220).



This bridge is alot of fun to drive under. It is directly west of the Hainesport Industrial park (about 4 or 5 cars back).
