CONRAIL TRAIN #MAIL-44 ROLLS PAST THE OLD TOWER -BELLEFONTAINE, OHIO - MAY 27, 1999
Conrail 6228 leads a mail train past the old tower for "Tower Tuesday", a tower that had a long time ago simply become "CP 141". Already severely downgraded in the PC era, Bellefontaine at one time hosted six different NYC lines heading out of town as well as a good size yard. The tower was the only remaining structure at the time of the photo, and actually somehow remains such today even under CSX, but it is surrounded by tree's these days. Even though Conrail was almost history at the time of the photo, good old #MAIL-44 was still running right on schedule. Actually even about 30 minutes early for it's scheduled 11 AM passing of CP 141.
