- A couple friends of mine visited Conrail's dispatching center in
- Dearborn, MI last week. At my request, they asked the dispatcher

- the motive power units along with the train into his dispatching
- territory, to which he obliged. Here, then, is a list of a few trains
- along with their power consists.
