Railfanning with the Bednars Volume 6 - The Beginning of Conrail
This is a preview of Railfanning with the Bednars Volume 6. This DVD will be available soon. Please check our website shown at the end of this preview for more information on ordering this DVD when it is available. DVD Summary below: In volume 6 of Railfanning with the Bednars, we'll join the Bednar gang as they railfan the beginning of Conrail from April to November of 1976. The startup of Conrail came with many changes and challenges, but despite this, the crews somehow managed to keep the freight moving. The change of operations made for an interesting and exciting time on the former northeast railroads. A wide mix of power from all the railroads as well as loaned foreign power began appearing on run through freights in the Allentown and Bethlehem areas. Although they focused primarily on the operations in the Lehigh Valley area, the gang made trips to the Harrisburg and Horse Shoe Curve areas to catch the variety of power and non stop trains in those locations.- published: 02 Nov 2013

Conrail Clearfield
Conrail Clearfield
In February 1992 I spent a weekend with some friends on Conrail's lines around Clearfield, PA. The first segment is a chase of a PEPCO coal train southeast out of Clearfield through Phillipsburg to Osceola Mills, followed by a brief sequence of a PP&L; coal train loading at the Rushton Mine. The second segment is the next-to-last run on the Snow Shoe Industrial to the refractory plant at Clarence, PA. The air horn on the 8049 is a WABCO E2B1 chime horn which is very rare, and I am told most likely came from a PRR GP9. This stretch of track is now a recreational trail. The third segment is along the West Branch Valley heading towards Keating, junction with the Buffalo Line.- published: 09 Oct 2013

Railfest 2009, Day 1: Rush Hour
10 minutes after the meet seen in the 'Tip Of The Iceberg' clip, an even busier scene unfolded as 6 trains (counting light helpers) passed in the space of about 25 minutes; so close together that only one camera stop was needed.
The action began as a westbound doublestack rounded the curve beyond MO Interlocking behind a trio of 'catfish' - Norfolk Southern C40-9Ws 9285, 8990, and cleaner sister 9272. As the last cars left the scene, they revealed an eastbound manifest with a couple of rare locomotives at the rear of the lashup - C40-9W 9765, SD60I 6750, SD45-2 1703 (ex-Erie Lackawanna, one of only 6 on the NS roster), and GP59 4616 (one of 35). The eastbound took a little while to clear, possibly due to a combination of the eastbound doublestack seen earlier and the E8-led excursions that were turning on the balloon track at AR Tower. The tail-end tank cars on the eastbound passed just as SD40Es 6303 and 6311 sailed by in the other direction. The pair escaped the reach of the camera's zoom as yet another eastbound appeared on the same track as the first, led by C40-8W 8400 still wearing Conrail paint.
The tail of the first eastbound was still in sight, so the 8400 and friends had to pause at the signal - the only point in the sequence where I stopped the camera. The second eastbound got moving again after a few minutes' wait and a long look at a large string of hazmat tank cars in the consist. The end of the second eastbound finally came into view, with its SD40E helpers following close behind. As the helpers got closer, westbound SD40-2s 3374 and 3344 briefly stole the scene, saluting the crowd that had gathered further down from where I stood. The sequence wrapped up as cleaned-and-pressed 6302 and 6309 walked slowly past, and the eastbound they had just helped up the West Slope continued on its way.

Railfest 2009, Day 1: Horseshoe Curve
Trains seen during my visit to Horseshoe Curve on the first full day of Railfest 2009 in Altoona, PA, June 26-28.
E8As 5809 and 5711, restored to full Pennsylvania Railroad Tuscan Red livery, appeared within minutes of my arrival at the Curve park, too quickly for me to set up the camera. No worries though - the excursion route took the train around a loop track at the summit in Gallitzin, so I simply waited to catch it on its return trip east. The last two cars are the Juniata Terminal's 'Warrior Ridge' and observation car 120.
About 25 minutes behind the excursion was a doublestack train led by C40-9Ws 9469 and 9114, followed closely after by two pairs of light helpers traveling together - SD40-2s 3346 and 3347 and SD40Es 6300 and 6306. The SD40Es are newcomers to helper service in the area, designed to succeed the SD40-2s in that role. They are remanufactured from the frame and body of an SD50 with the original 3,500hp engine replaced with a more reliable rebuilt 3,000hp unit from a retired SD40-2, along with updated wiring, microprocessor management for the engine and other critical subsystems, and air conditioning.
Next around the Curve was a westbound merchandise freight, with C40-9W 9486 and SD60M 6791 on the point and SD40Es 6313 and 6301 assisting from the rear. After the freight was past I got a second chance to capture the excursion train as it made another trip up to Gallitzin.
Finishing off my morning at the Curve was an oddball light engine move westbound, consisting of C40-8W 8365 (note the freshly-shopped trucks), C40-9W 9837, and SD80MACs 7200 and 7203. Having shot plenty of footage at the Curve in the past, I wanted to devote more of my time to other locations on this trip - it was time to move a little further west.
