CR 2765 leads a train of ore jennies long hood forward, September 1990

Crews never seemed especially fond of the ore jenny trains, loaded or empty. To cap it off, running one from a long hood forward U23B certainly added insult to injury. But the whole thing sure sounded good negotiating the switches at Belt Line Jct. near Reading, PA as this empty from Bethlehem heads back to Philly on a September morning in 1990. 2765 was one of 27 U23B's originally built to operate long hood forward. 2729, 2700 and a GP40-2 round out the quartet.
