A former Conrail gondola car in tow. Elmwood Park Illinois. May 2008.

I took this photo on a lovely Sunday afternoon back in May of 2008.

It's hard to believe that it has actually beem 11 years now, since Conrail became a fallen flag railroad through merger.

Conrail was absorbed in a two way split merger in 1999 between the railroad companys of CSX Transportation Company, and the Norfolk Southern Railroad. The nice thing about railfanning is, occasionly still being able to find un reletterd equipment still rolling around on freight trains for several years after the fact.
