Dear Mr. Thompson,

The video Conrail's Beginning, or one of the three Panhandle tapes, 

all by Clear Block, shows Penn Central and Toledo, Peoria, and Western                                                                   
locomotives together on a freight train called the Rocket.  It has 

been some time, since I watched these films.

                                      Thank you.

                                      Sincerely,

                                      James Koo
