The fifth in a series of titles covering Conrail’s first years of operations (1976-1982), this book features more of the finest in early Conrail photography. The book covers Conrail’s “Rainbow Years” in northeastern Ohio, which became a haven for Conrail’s ALCos, F-units, and first-generation power in the railroad’s earliest years. A smattering of freshly painted Conrail blue locomotives and leased power from other railroads mingled with the patched power from Conrail’s predecessors, adding to the color palette. This book covers the extensive freight operations on ex-PC and ex-EL lines in the area, with over 160 full-color images of Conrail’s unique Rainbow Years.
