4973 CAB LITE N12
On mournful dreary grey and cold afternoon shortly before Conrail would absorb the Penn Central; E40 4973 is framed by the Lehigh Valley Bridge as it heads towards the Meadows cab-light after dropping its train at the far end of Waverly Yard.
The WA5 block station ,which can seen in the background. was once an interesting and busy junction point for PC freight moving through the NJ terminal area and the NEC .
The coming Conrail years would not be kind to WA5 or 4973 . By 1979 she will have dropped her pan for the final time.
WA5 was demolished in the mid 80's due to changes in traffic which routed freight over the Lehigh Line rather than the ex-PRR NEC and freight branches .
