Conrail's Office Car special heads eastbound on the former Pennsylvania Railroad main at Huntingdon, PA in June 1998. Leading the eight car consist is Conrail E8 No. 4020, built in 1951 for the Pennsy as their No. 5809. The trailing diesel is Conrail E8 No. 4021, built in 1952 for the PRR as their No. 5711. These classic EMD cab units were purchased by Mr. Bennett Levin after the Conrail breakup and were repainted into the PRR's legendary Tuscan red with gold pinstripes passenger livery. They now power occasional mainline excursions over rail lines in the east, and look spectacular in their new livery
