Viewing Album:  They came for the steam, Conrail gave them ground shaking thunder! Part II
 
By:Alan Page
Dates:5/22/1977 - 5/22/1977
Album Info:The wait continued for the arrival of Reading T-1 4-8-4 #2101 at Horseshoe Curve on May 22, 1977. Conrail continued to storm the Curve with F-units, GP35 and GP38's, SD40, 45 and 45P's, and a few U-boats as they strained with their loads up and down Horseshoe Curve. This day was sure to generate more Conrail fans as the barely one year old railroad showed it's very best.
