| Description: |
Here is the front cover of a nine-page cover article by James P. Olmstead entitled "Conrail At The Heart Of The Pennsy." It was published on the June 1996 issue of "Railfan & Railroad" magazine. Cover Caption: "October 17, 1994, was one of those seemingly gorgeous days you dream about ~ but it was also a Monday, and trains were few and far between, even on Conrail's usually frantically busy main line at South Fork, Pennsylvania. But the lighting and timing were perfect as this trio of GE Dash 8-40CW's rolled westward with a van train in late afternoon. Fuji Velvia by Jim Boyd." |
