Remarks & Notes 
Austere is the word to describe Conrail’s minimalist effort to patch this ex-Lehigh Valley SW1. All LV markings have been painted over, but there is no evidence that this is a Conrail engine anywhere. The number boards do carry the Conrail number 8415. The train is entering the small yard between JU and Steel Tower in Bethlehem. Judging by the short consist and the presence of a caboose, I would guess that the train is returning from the former CNJ Minsi Trail Branch, renamed the Preemansburg Industrial Track when the Lehigh Valley assumed operations in 1972.
