Viewing Album:  Last days for Alco RS11's at Morrisville in summer, 1977.
 
By:Alan Page
Dates:3/26/1977 - 6/25/1977
Album Info:The last operating days for Penn Central's workhorse RSD12's at Morrisville were in late March, 1977. Alco RS11's continued working the yard in April, and into the summer, with a single CR blue RS11 operating. By the winter of '77-78, the sound of 251B prime movers was gone from Morrisville forever. They were replaced with the familiar sound of the 16-cylinder 567D's in EMD GP30's. This album features operations at Morrisville yard in late March, April, and June 25, 1977.

PC RS11 7623
Title:  PC RS11 7623
Description:  In April, 1977, PC-lettered RS11's 7623 and 7618 were working Morrisville yard. The RS11s may have been pretty worn following 8 years of PC-deferred maintenance, and Conrail may have written them off in the last year, but the 251Bs V12 engine was well liked by engineers for their acceleration and pulling power, and their unique sound was unmatched by EMD prime movers. Sadly, freight cars like the white PRR 40 boxcar on the adjacent track were not quite so rare in Conrails first year, and many railfans skipped the opportunity to spend our limited supply of film on them.
