One of my personal favorites leading 37Q south behind another early microprocessor unit- an SD50.
Catfish leader but HH SD40-2 and a NREX former Conrail SD50 trailing.

37Q sits in Vardo Yard, awaiting 203 to clear.
A GP50, a dying breed, leads H95.

CNOTP unit idling in Vardo with another GP50.
After arriving a couple weeks earlier, the 4611 is still in Vardo Yard, teamed with a GP38-2.
Some classic NS units idling in Vardo. These units will soon be either sold, built into GP38-3's or scrapped.
