| Album Info: | A cool February day in 1977 was one of the last days of all Reading colors at Abrams yard. The day drew many railfans and Conrail did not disappoint. Numerous RDG SW1500's, and GP7's worked the yard, and two westbound PRSL and PC-led mixed freights rolled through. All SW1500's and their caboose mates, and all GP-7's were untouched by CR stencils. Though not working the yard, there were two SW1500's with small CR stencils in the engine terminal. The following week would see CR stencils applied to SW1500 9595 (RDG 2756) and GP-7's 5817 (RDG 625), 5828 (RDG 626), and 5835 (RDG 633). Also on Feb 19, RDG SW1500 2752 would be repainted CR 9591. A month later on March 26, CR blue 9591 appeared with silver trucks, while SW1500's 2770 and 2763 remained in RDG colors. |
