Conrail Days

May 29th to 31st were Conrail Days at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, PA. In addition to the museum's Conrail 2233 GP30 the event folks from the Conrail Historical Society treated visitors with 3 Pennsylvania-built locomotives, the most powerful from Big Blue's fleet. They were:

NS 6757 EMD class SD60I assembled at Juniata Shops in Altoona, PA and still painted as CR 5644
NS 7581 GE class ES40DC built in Erie, PA (and too young to be ex-Conrail)
NS 7211 EMD class SD80MAC assembled in Altoona

The big engines were pulled to Strasburg from the Leaman Place junction with Amtrak's Keystone Line by the Strasburg Railroad's ex-NYC SW8.

I decided to post something a bit different here since there are so many photos of this event posted elsewhere on the net. They include some great shots from the Friday 5/29 night photo shoot session.
