Expect The Unexpected

From what I've been able to gather, the 1970s seemed to have been a somewhat eclectic time on American railroads. It appears that the unusual was the norm. As an example we have an odd trio of locomotives at Conrail's Collinwood Yard in Cleveland in March of 1978. Closest to the camera is FP7a 4341, followed by Amtrak E8a 441 (which was a former L&N unit), which is then succeeded by Conrail GP40 3049 and then the nose of FP7a 4349 peeks out behind. Not exactly an everyday combination but I guess this was the 1970s.
