Cab Ride on CSX 1976 Through Cleveland, Ohio!

Just to clear some confusion concerning the windshield wipers. The wipers are independent and therefore, the engineer likely had his on while the conductor’s wipers were not on because there was no need.

They didn't waste a second once they got out of that yard area. Impressive.

Nice !! I rode in a Conrail SW-1 in the '70s at Gulf refinery in SW Philly. My brother & I went with our father in a propane tractor trailer from S. Jersey (a Louisville Ford) & when we arrived at the loading racks ? The Conrail engine was knocking cars on the other side of the rack. My father asked the crew if his boys could come up into the cab- the crew bettered that- they took us to a rail yard to swap out for more empty tanker cars. Both would never, ever happen today; being allowed into the refinery or getting a cab ride. The engine was an SW-1, all black with simple stencils for the road number and a "CR" as well- this was around '77 or so.... 🚬😎👍

This is coming out of Collinwood to the old connection to the Short line. I have pictures of the new connection and the old Quaker tower. They leveled most of the buildings along the fight side of the track with the coal tower.
