A little something for you Conrail Queens

As mentioned the IM thread, I was going through a few slides this evening and found a few notables long ago forgotten. Neat stuff from around 1980:

Oh my.

We're gonna need a CRHS gallery of those, if you'll let us use them, of course!

That's a good idea, Ed. These surprised me when I was going through a Carousel of "highlights from 1975 to 1985" prepared for a show about 10 years ago. So let me first find the whole boxes of slides from that trip since there is certainly more to be had. I was living in California at the time; these are from a trip taken specifically to 'fan the Harrisburg line before the wire was pulled down. It was certainly imminent - the deadline of E44's at Enola was depressing.

Nice photos - the railroading I remember as a kid!

Say Ed, I have a pile of 35mm slides I shot of this era - I was about 10 at the time. I have no slide projector anymore and I don't have a slide transfer device. 

If I can find them do you guys have any use for them?

Of course! We're always adding to the "archives", and while it may be a while before they get online (I think Sean's about 5000 into the 10000 Grant Lowry collection), they'll get there someday.

The pinch point is that we only have a single slide scanner, and few too hands to actually do all the uploading.
