Light engine cut
Title:  Light engine cut
Description:  Not sure if these were helpers being moved or traffic into/out of the Juniata engine shops, but Conrail sure seemed to move cuts like this around the Curve quite a bit...at least, in my limited experience.

ICG 3055
Title:  ICG 3055
Description:  This GP40 - seen here working the ICG/Conrail interchange in Effingham, IL - was built as IC 3055 in Feb 1967. In March 1982, it was sold to KCS where it became unit #791. It was later rebuilt to a GP40WH-2 and became MARC 65. By 9/2010 it was retired and would eventually end up in Boise, ID at Motive Power Industries. Who would have guessed back in '79 that it would have such a colorful history?.
