Good Evening,

I saw this under my subscriptions, and all I can say is wow!  If I had the space, I would love to model this early era of Conrail with all of the different electric locomotives. Enjoy!

Did the E44(?)s always run long-hood forward, or was that just a coincidence?

Recall seeing them operated both ways.

Oh man, yeah. That video is good.

And yeah, it's a shame the electric operations were all in areas that are so real-estate intensive.

 :)
  in PC days triple Headed Gs was almost as common as double headed
  Gs in and out of Waverly Yard.
    what was rare was single Gs on a freight.
  E44/50s Triple headed lot also, but not as much as the Gs.
  don't recall too many single E44/50s.
  but the Jets and E33s ran single a lot on locals and Express trains,or
  maybe Dead Head moves of Express cars ?
