Bruce, another commodity that  has lost a lot of volume. Newsprint is declining because of the digital age too. 
I have posted this before but it is such an example of the early years of Conrail.  It was fun to watch as this railroad took shape.  I disagree with a lot that was done but I am also saddened that it was allowed to be butchered. 12/11/1976 Conway, Pa

December, 1976. East Palestine, Ohio.  I was taking pictures of FP7's and F7's anywhere in the consist. I think the last one running on Conrail through here was in 1980.
