Juniata Terminal
The Juniata Terminal has purchased all three ex-Conrail E8A locomotives from CSX and Norfolk Southern.  They have completely restored ex-Conrail 4020 and 4021 to their original Pennsylvania Railroad colors and numbers.  They have been used in several excursions including the "Northern Express" and runs over Horseshoe Curve during Altoona's Railfest in October 2001.  The first three pictures were taken as they passed West Trenton on the Trenton Line in December 2000.  The second three pictures are from Narberth, as the train makes its way to Harrisburg.  The rest of the photos were taken at Juniata Terminal in October 2001.  I was invited to the Juniata Terminal as they prepared the locomotives for their journey to Altoona.  I would like to extend many thanks to the people of the Juniata Terminal for inviting me and for these photos I was able to take.
 
Ex-Conrail E8A 4020, fully repainted into PRR Tuscan Red, pulls a special CSAO train (Philadelphia to Oak Island and back) through West Trenton in December 17, 2000.
Here, the train passes the West Trenton station.  NS uses standard freight units for their business trains, and the 4020 was auctioned off.  Personally, I am happy to see that the 4020 was saved and will still be used.
Here is the entire consist.  The E8A, two Amtrak Amfleet coaches, and a PRR open end observation car.
PRR 5711 rounds the curve at Narberth, PA on its way to Harrisburg.  August 2001.
