U36B 2971 leads 2 U30Bs at New Brighton, PA on 7/28/77. Conrail purchased only 4 U36Bs from GE that were originally built for Auto Train.
The units were built to Seaboard specs as you can see the horn, firecracker antenna & nose light were left on, but Conrail made GE remove the Blomberg trucks & install the more traditional GE AAR type B trucks before taking delivery.
