Conrail 80046, seen here at Lewistown, PA was built in 1900 for the Reading Railroad, easily making it the oldest scale test car on the Conrail system. Norfolk Southern is now the owner and continues to use this 109 year old piece of equipment as if it were new. With no patch marks what so ever, this scale test car still proudly wears its Conrail paint scheme. Here's to another 109 years! Picture taken Nov. 2008 in Lewistown Yard near turntable.
