Excellent video. Tough to find anything on Conrail in the coal region!

Never knew Conriail was servicing the coal region back in the late 80's on the former Reading.

Wow those Geep 10's were diffently smokin them up shoving them gons thru Ashland at the Rt 61 road crossing!

Funny how 32 years later everything but the power looks virtually the same. Loved this video, subscribed.

Loved the big Blue operations in the coal region. I've subscribed to the channel. Keep this coming. Any video of rail operations/traffic from Shamokin to Trevorton along Rt 61 which was Reading rails? That would be awesome 👍!

Fantastic Video! Growing up and being a railfan from Fountain Springs, I really appreciate your video. Thank You!

This is a fantastic video! Was very curious to see stuff before the R&N, loved those GP10's and pups screaming with those trains!

Love the sound of those old EMDs! Very awesome vintage footage! Thanks for sharing! Bob...

I have more, just need to get the chance to edit the footage, thanks for the positive comments. Glad people enjoyed it.

Liked, favorited, and subscribed. This is great stuff. I've been casually familiar with the Reading and the Reading & Northern for a while, but ever since I rode the Hopper Jet excursion (I can't believe it's been nearly 2 years already), I've been seeking out more videos from the area, especially the CR and if I can find any, the RDG years. Keep 'em coming.

Nice video, Thanks for sharing. In 1989 I was 20.

great video of some old gp10s

Never heard 7563s horn at 0:18

I miss Conrail, but maybe it's better than private railroads (like Reading and Northern, and Norfolk Southern) own the rails in eastern PA than the federal government, which is what Conrail was, similar to Amtrak except from 1983 on Conrail was freight only. They shed the commuter services with state agencies taking full responsibility for them in January, 1983. Freight was more profitable. But, the R&N ownership of the ex-Reading, Conrail coal lines means that they can run excursion trains on those lines any time they want. As well as the Lehigh division north of Jim Thorpe, ex-LV and CNJ rails.

Hey you got any of these home videos on DVD for perches?

they would be neat to see. That's for sure being that there is vary little out there covering varied lesser known lines that Conrail had before being sold off.
