CONRAIL 6493.
Title:  CONRAIL 6493.
Description:  Conrail power seemed to make an appearance in Utah from time to time back in the 1990's. Conrail and Southern Pacific ran an anthracite coal train to Geneva Steel and arrangements would allow for Conrail pool power to stay on the train to Utah. On this day SD40-2 6493 was one of those locomotives. One of the crewmen rides on 6493 as the train is being backed into the yard at Provo due locomotive failure problems with the first unit (Rio Grande 5354).
