Shore Fast Line shoving cars of paper thru Pleasantville, NJ December 1989.  The cars are for the Atlantic City Press, which had their offices in Egg Harbor Twp.

Bruce, another commodity that  has lost a lot of volume. Newsprint is declining because of the digital age too. 
I have posted this before but it is such an example of the early years of Conrail.  It was fun to watch as this railroad took shape.  I disagree with a lot that was done but I am also saddened that it was allowed to be butchered. 12/11/1976 Conway, Pa

Charlie, the Atlantic City Press stopped rail delivery sometime in the mid 1990's and it delivered by truck.

Bruce, our newspapers were not given a choice, Conrail abandoned the line serving them. Sad

Just to make everyone happy with gas prices. A westbound with no patched locomotives crossing Market Street in East Palestine, Ohio 12/12/1976     Just incase you can't read the gas price.

December, 1976. East Palestine, Ohio.  I was taking pictures of FP7's and F7's anywhere in the consist. I think the last one running on Conrail through here was in 1980.

12/19/1976. The light was fading fast and I was still shooting everything I could with the limited film budget.  There were still many unpatched locomotives on the roster. Westbound at East Palestine, Ohio.      Charlie
