Some East Coast Stuff from July 1978

Here's some recent scanning to share...

1) First image is of a northbound Conrail freight with a Reading GP35, Conrail SD35 and Frisco U25B. It's backlit and hazy as hell, but this wasn't a train I wanted to let pass by un-recorded.

2) Second image is of two Penn Central E8s pulling a passenger train over the Garden State Parkway... with the train made up of P70 coaches and ex Santa Fe Budd Cars (which were called "EL Capitans" due to their first being assigned to Erie Lackawanna trains).

3) Third image is of a Raritan River SW900 waiting to help with a derailment out of frame. This subsidiary of Conrail did not last that much longer after the pic.

4) Fourth and last image is of the derailment... a tank car turned over a rail on the Raritan River in South Amboy.

Thanks for looking and corrections are welcome.
