PC 8311 New Hope, PA 4-19-1977

Awaiting potential restoration for the New Hope and Ivyland RR, former Penn Central S12 8311 rests without trucks at New Hope, PA in April, 1977. Based on the locomotive's condition, 8311 was acquired from Penn Central prior to Conrail's startup, or purchased from one of CR's many officially retired or stored units. Other New Hope and Ivyland acquisitions from Conrail included CNJ RS-3 1554 and a number of RDG MU coaches.
