Nice catch, Doug. Too bad none were saved. I saw them in action twice in the mid-70s; one was pulling an EB TrucTrain that I spotted while riding in Mom's '69 VW Beetle along Route 283 near Salunga, and the other was pulling an EB manifest in the dark at Washington Boro...it was the first time that I heard a Hancock air whistle. The engineer seemed to be enjoying blowing that ghostly whistle that night nearly 50 years ago.

Thanks, Bob. I really never saw the {C/Conrail electrics beyond the confines of Enola or Harrisburg. It's one of my bigger regrets.
