Conrail was created on 4/1/76 and, a couple weeks later, Bison Yard, a joint EL-N&W operation in Buffalo, looks unchanged as one of EL's six ex-Erie GP9s pairs up with an ex-NKP RS11 to shuffle cuts of cars around the classification yard. This was back when you could easily tell what automobiles were being transported by the RRs. Today, Bison Yard is a shadow of its former self handling intermodal, autoracks, and a small amount of carload classification for Norfolk Southern.
