On February 26th, 1996 Conrail’s Harrisburg Division was absorbed by Conrail’s Albany, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh Divisions. This video was shot during the final three months of the Harrisburg Division on the Pittsburgh and Harrisburg Lines.

In the early months of 1996 the Harrisburg Division played a vital role not only for Conrail trains but CSX and CP Rail due to adverse weather conditions that caused damage to the operations of all three railroads.
This video includes numerous CSX and CP Rail detour trains as well as an assortment of Conrail trains with power from the now rare GP-10’s to the high-tech SD-80 MAC’s. You will see the first run of Conrail’s SD-80 MAC’s on long haul revenue service.

Locations include: Rockville Bridge, South Fork, Lilly, Cresson, Palmyra, Lewistown, Duncannon, Tara, Annville, Hershey, and others.

Color, sound, narration and on-screen graphics depict locations.
