I was back in Harrisburg a second time in May, this time during the CRHS Rail-B-Q. In 2008, we still saw lots of Conrail stuff too, making it an even better time.

February 22, 2008May 25, 2014 Ed KapuscinskiPhotosLeave a comment

Back in 2008 it was still possible to see Conrail painted stuff on the point of trains. I was also becoming active in the CRHS, and these were both good reasons to head to Harrisburg PA for the day.
