What could follow Conrail's last-day opening act of 3 trains at once on The Curve? How about a westbound TV train with 10 units; a wild head-end lashup - SD60M/SD60M/LMS C40-8W/SD70/SD80MAC/GP40-2/Ballast Express C32-8/C40-8W - plus an SD40-2 pair pushing. Lead helper 6375 was also part of a monster consist the first time I was at The Curve with a video camera, in 1994, as one of the pushers on the 9-unit westbound I saw at Gallitzin (see the '9-unit Westbound at Gallitzin' clip).

  • Hmm, one person has inexplicably failed to appreciate the awesomeness that is Horseshoe Curve.

  • @Pellaz2112 Can't please everyone, I suppose. :)

  • 3rd unit had differant markings on it looked like LMS?

  • Yep. You can see it in freeze-frame; the number looks like 733.

  • how come some of the conrail units dont have patches on them?

  • Not sure, but the CR fans among us would say it was luck. :) The SD70 however, did not need to be patched since CR specified they be built to NS specs and numbered into the same series as NS's SD70s when they were ordered.
