Conrail’s Kaleidoscope Years is a series covering the first few years of operations featuring a wide variety of motive power color schemes inherited from the former Anthracite Roads, as well as leased foreign power. The random colorful lash-ups made for an interesting and exciting time on the former northeast railroads

In volume 4, we view the former anthracite roads in northern Pennsylvania on the ex-Lehigh Valley and the New York southern tier Penn Central and Erie Lackawanna lines, including D&H trains, from March of 1976 to December 1977.

Footage in this volume comes from photographer Dave Deyo.
