Charlie,
How do they keep track of where a particular car is at in a yard like that (Conway)..??
Must be a real nightmare...
What river is that in the background..??

[Charlie B]

Gus, that's the Ohio River. Today all the cars have the scanner tags and they are scanned inbound and outbound, everything else is done by computers, I even think there may be scanners on the hump that allow the switches to be thrown automatically to route the cars to the right track for the right train.
Conway is not near the size it was as one of the yards was closed.

This one is a little late, but I figured some might like it. At the time, this Conrail GP40-2 was one of the last ones in blue.

Nice stuff GEC.. You do realize that every car that past you was thinking,, "What's wrong with that person,, Why would you film that Chew Chew train? "

Silly simple folk, they just don't understand railfans.

I bank on people being to busy with their lives to notice.

It was a lot warmer and the grass was greener on this day 2 years ago.  Rain here today so I may get out to take a few more pictures.
