This is my latest, and maybe last, photo of a locomotive still in Conrail colors pulling a regular freight train. This is in PRR (in the sense of Norfolk Southern, I don't know historically speaking) territory near (or in) Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Because I took this from a car it's slightly blurred and so I can't get the number, but I think that this locomotive is a GP38, as it has two radiator fans, and Conrail had few GP38-2's, and no SD38's (which would have longer frames anyway).

Here's a shot of Amtrak #166 (on the left), which is a G.E. Genesis P42 diesel, and an unidentified AEM7 (on the right), coupled to some Amfleet cars at Harrisburg. The sign in the foreground is, of course, the station sign, sporting the post-1999 Amtrak logo.

I took this as we were approaching Scranton, and met an NYS&W excursion leaving Scranton. The same train had taken NRHS members from the Central New York and Utica & Mohawk Valley Chapters to Scranton for the weekend, although the convention, as usual was week-long. Months later, the engineer in #2400 (who I knew) commented that he had seen me taking the picture, and couldn't fully believe that it was me, as he thought I was on his train.

I haven't marked the loco under "locomotives" on this one, simply because it isn't actually visible. This is really more about the train departing into the sunset. :-)

This is Picture 4 of my series on Amtrak #910 at Lancaster.

Although I've forgotten the exact date (it was the day they unveiled the Lancaster station sign, I know that much), I do remember taking my photos of 910 late in the day, and in this shot you get to see some of the sunset.

This was a better shot that I got of AMTK 910 after it pulled into Lancaster.

This was my first-ever real-life look at an Amtrak AEM7, and oddly it wasn't on the Northeast Corridor, but on the Keystone Corridor at Lancaster, PA while at the 1995 NRHS National Convention.

This was where we picked up our Reading & Northern excursion train at the NRHS National Convention, led by a matching set of Reading EMD FP7s that had just been restored. Here's the newer of the two, number 903.

As our excursion pulled in, I got this lucky shot of 902 and 2398 lined up just right for this shot, which I quite like.

Here, back in order, this was where we picked up our Reading & Northern excursion train at the NRHS National Convention, led by a matching set of Reading EMD FP7s that had just been restored. Here's a shot of our train pulling in, headed by the FP7s, with a Reading and Northern freight on the adjacent track.

Slight out of order here....:-(, this was where we picked up our Reading & Northern excursion train at the NRHS National Convention, led by a matching set of Reading EMD FP7s that had just been restored. Here's the older of the two, number 902.
