Westbound on the Cleveland Line
The track geometry train has tied up on the east siding at Waverly. CR 1933 was the assigned power for this train, as it had equipment to work with the specialized sensors in the train.
The track geometry train has tied up on the east siding at Waverly on the Southern Tier. We see a rear view of the obs used to watch the track as the train progresses.
TEST401 EB at Ring
The Conrail track geometry train made several trips per year over the Southern Tier with its specialized sensors to measure track gauge, rail profile, surfacing, etc. Today finds it tied up at Binghamton, on the DLW side, with its assigned B 23-7.
Conrail had a track geometry train that took all kinds of engineering measurments on the track structure. It was permanently assgined to B23-7 1933, which was specially outfitted to work with the equipment in the cars. We see it on the ex LV at Sayre, laying over for a trip down the Lehigh Line the next day.

Interesting lashup on the hopper train, with one of the 4 e{ LV GP38AC's, and the 1933, which woufd become the "standard" power on CR's track geometry train.
