Review of Conrails Kaleidoscope Years Vol 2 DVD Upstate New York Lehigh Valley Horseshoe Curve

Conrail's Kaleidoscope Years is a series covering the first few years of operations featuring a wide variety of motive power color schemes inherited from the former Anthracite Roads, as well as leased foreign power. The random colorful lash-ups made for an interesting and exciting time on the former northeast railroads
