Truc Train At Tunnelhill

High atop the Alleghenies an eastbound Conrail intermodal train exits the New Portage tunnel and approaches the site of the former junction with the long gone Hollidaysburg Secondary which once traversed the "Mule Shoe Curve", May 27, 1990. Conrail 5031 is a B36-7 built by GE in November 1983. It would go on to become CSXT 5796 upon the split date of June 1, 1999 and later still would be sold to Brazil's EFVM railroad who would modify it's appearance by extending the frame and adding 2 additional 4 axle trucks on each end, reclassifying it as a BB36-7.
