Remarks & Notes 
Heavy Conrail action at PORT, with an eastbound ex-PRR GP30 passing a Central Soya unit train coming west off the Port Road. This was a tremendous location in the 1970s, with Conrail freights converging from the South and the Northeast, heading to Harrisburg, Enola, and points north and west. Today, the line to the Northeast is a rail-trail, and only a few trains run to the south, mainly during nighttime hours to avoid NEC passenger trains. The trolley wire is long-gone, but the cat poles remain, with only one 132 kv circuit intact, plugged into Amtrak at Royalton. The other circuit went to Enola, and its insulators now dangle wireless, swinging in the wind.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
