A friend gave me 10 boxes of slides from the 80's/90's and thought I would share some with fellow Diesel Detailers... This photo was taken at Lawrence Ma yard on the house track date unknown... Attachments:

I lived in central New Jersey in 1979 to 1981 and would regularly see the D&H C424m's running solo on Conrail's former Lehigh Valley main line with the Oak Island intermodal trains. Also saw them regularly in Bethlehem, PA, during the same time period on NE84, NE87 (Portland, ME to Philadelphia), SB4 and BS1 (Bethlehem Steel-Buffalo).

One of my favorite videos in my collection is "Dateline D&H" by Rich Melvin of Hopewell Productions. I wore the tape out and have to find a DVD version. There is one scene where the Hornel C424's are sweeping around a curve that I love. The horns on those units sing a very sweet song. I don't know what the horns are, but they sound good.

Very nice! Makes me want to include an interchange with the D&H/Guilford so I can have this type of run-through power on CP. Also reminds me of this video:
Randy, the horn looks to be a Nathan K5LA.

2 of the DH C-424's found a home on the Minnesota Commercial, and were joined by 3 ex GBW C-424's as well. One of the DH and 2 of the GBW C-424's still remain.
