Re: (erielack) Early Conrail video reconnecting to caboose.

Rich
The whole train pulled east of the automatic ( Disp Controlled  ) crossovers 
and dwarf signal.
Pushers cuts away from train after getting the dwarf, and shoves the  caboose 
west of the crossovers.
Cuts away from caboose and goes back east of the crossovers.
 Pushers now get the signal a second time, and cross over and return  to 
Scranton light.
( Railfans depart to get ahead of train )
Train now backs up, when they get the dwarf signal for the third time, and  
reconnects with the caboose via radio from the rear flag  man.   
When air comes up, they go to Portland.   :)

I too  would 
like to know the answer to Jeff's question about that move with the  
caboose........I'm 0 for 1 with my guesses so far, so maybe someone  
else has the answer.......for the video, there certainly were quite a  
few fans along the way that day!!
