Ex-PC/CR 8150 GP38-2 on WB-1 local to Newberry Yard coming from BFF at Berwick heads west at the first crossing east of the neighborhood of Mordansville. Routine operation was for the caboose to be positioned right behind the engine over the track in extremely poor condition from Strawberry Ridge to Berwick. The caboose would normally be switched to the end of the train at one of two locations at Strawberry Ridge.
Not much time left for service on this branch to Berwick as the line from M.P. 14 east of Strawberry Ridge to Berwick would be taken out of service shortly afterwards.
The road this crossing was located on was later named Mellick Hollow Road.
CR 24530 N12 caboose would become Conrail Police Caboose.
