The fifth 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” in
northeastern Ohio, which became a haven for Conrail’s ALCos, F-units,
and first-generation power in the railroad’s earliest years. A
smattering of freshly painted Conrail blue locomotives and leased power
from other railroads mingled with the patched power from Conrail’s
predecessors, adding to the color palette. This book covers the
extensive freight operations on ex-PC and ex-EL lines in the area, with
over 160 full-color images of Conrail’s unique Rainbow Years.
