Hmmm. That bell placement has me wondering! Reminds me of old GN Geeps. Which ran long hood forward. Boxcab E50
Appears it used to have a high short hood: http://ohiorr.railfan.net/images/ohcr7591.jpg Built in 1959 as: PRR GP9 7254 then: PC GP9 7254 then: CR GP9 7254 then: CR GP10m (rebuilt) 7591 then: OC GP10m 7591 then: Still kickin' ; )
Does it still have the old 567? Or was it upgraded? I love those engines. The sound of a 567.... Boxcab E50
The slug started out as: NYC RS-11 #8007 Then renumbered to: NYC RS-11 #7607 Then: PC RS-11 #7607 http://www.pbase.com/espeef5/image/38993225 Then: CR RS-11 #7607 Then rebuilt into a MT-4 #1005 slug at Altoona: http://www.trainweb.org/railpix/miscpix/conrail1005s1-morrisville-5-20-82.jpg Then it got EMD trucks: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/locoPicture.aspx?id=5327 Then: OC MT-4 #1005 Think I got it all ; )
One thing about those older units- They certainly are being well utilized. In one form or another, soldiering onward. Boxcab E50
