The fourth in a series of titles covering Conrail’s first years of
operations (1976-1982), this book features more of the finest in early
Conrail photography. The book covers Conrail’s “Rainbow Years” on New
Jersey’s ex-EL commuter lines, when motive power in a variety of
patched-out color schemes from NJDOT and predecessor railroads operated
through the area. A smattering of freshly painted Conrail blue
locomotives, as well as other railroads’ locomotives that were purchased
to alleviate power shortages, added to the color palette. This book
covers the entirety of Conrail’s commuter territory in New Jersey during
Conrail’s operations under contract to NJDOT, with over 140 full-color
images of Conrail’s unique Rainbow Years.
