Tonight I included two more eastbound freights headed toward Croxton Yard, the first is U33C 3312 plus an SD-45 and a GP-7 working hard past the station. The second is SDP-45 3668 with a U-Boat, you can both freights have Hi-Cubes in the consist, in fact the 3668 is hauling a long solid string of them upgrade. I am thinking his would be BC-2 or SF-100? Anyone care to take a guess? Both are early morning photos.
Next up is their destination, the former Erie freight yard at Croxton. Enjoy a walk around the engine terminal, and a view of EL 428 near the "Boxcar" yard office. Later visits to Croxton in the late 70's after the Conrail takeover were enjoyable, I would ride my bike from the Little Falls area down Route 3 and visit the terminal on weekends, I became good friends with the hostlers there, and soon I was operating locomotives and setting up road power for the freights! .... ya can't make this stuff up! All this was before I knew how to drive a car. I tried my best to get the former EL locomotives on the point. :)
