Ending The Day
Conrail GP8 #5450 is running south through Norwich, NY with the local, just in from Sherburne, over the "hump" at Mitchell St. This was once the site of an overpass with tight confines. The railroad later removed it and raised the roadbed to accommodate a grade crossing instead. This would give head room for taller freight cars, such as trailers on flat cars.
The job will tie up in the Norwich Yard two blocks away.
