I put together these clips from my archives of early Conrail when black and blue units where still the normal.
All clips were shot in 1978.
If you enjoyed this vintage Conrail stuff, please be sure to check out Black & Blue Years, Part I and Part II in my collection, along with Conrail's Colorful Years series.
Hope you enjoyed the sight and sounds of these early Conrail treasures.
Thanks for watching, and hope you enjoyed it.

As always, much appreciated Jack for taking the time to post these clips up, I can't get enough of these old vintage super 8 films, very cool.
Thank you David, and glad you enjoy this old stuff.
Black and blue perfectly sums up that railroad’s dire financial situation in the early days! Nice grabs here! First video I’ve seen of a Conrail blue GP30.
Wow! What a true gen of a video right here. 💯💯
Thank you dweller. Never to be repeated, sorry to say. Thanks for watching.
@@1jackdk The thanks goes to you Jack, I have never seen such videos from that era from anyone else that is so detailed. Fan for life here 😎👍💯
Awesome video of conrail Jack!!
Thanks for sharing your great catches of days when I was just a kid.
Train watching was a lot more interesting in the seventies. All the now fallen roads that have been absorbed in mergers . And of course, freight cars are for all consideration, free of that scourge, graffiti. Thanks for keeping rail heritage alive.
Awesome video! I’m glad that we got to see a bunch of freight cars, too.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jack, these clips are a real treat! Thanks so much for sharing your footage.
Thank you Bobk. Happy I can share this old stuff, and thanks for watching.
Very nice, it could get ugly with dull grimy Black units everywhere but still a lot of variety with three builders especially in the Northeast MA/RI/CT/NY/NJ/PA and "Loads" of 1st and 2nd Gen power !! 👍
I did enjoy watching this video. Thank you so very much Jack.
Great video 😊✌️
God bless you to brother, great film, I appreciate you sharing it
Nice job dear friend. 101 like my.
Railfanning was much more interesting back then but it's important to remember that it was also a mess in the 70's. There's a reason so many companies were merging as fast as possible and abandoning every branch line they could trying to get some liquidity amidst the stranglehold of outdated government and union regulations.
Did you notice 1361 on the left 6:39?
Jack, what was living in the 1970s like as compared to today? I did hear about oil prices staggering and several conspiracy issues including the Watergate scandal, but what about the true comfort that existed back then where you cannot enjoy it anymore?
