Conrail inherited their large fleet of GP35's from the Reading Company, Erie Lackawanna, and the Penn Central. The Penn Central units came in turn from the New York Central and Pennsylvania. The units served until the early 1980's, when they began going into and out of storage until the final few units were permanently retired in the mid-1990's.
Comprehensive EMD GP35 Roster
The roster below is comprehensive for Conrail's GP35 between April 1976 and the last unit's retirement in the mid-1990's, and contains all predecessor units of the locomotive class that Conrail inherited. If numbers are missing from the roster, Conrail intentionally left them open. As of 2019, I have begun adding retirement dates but have no plans of adding dispositions due to their complex nature. If you have information about retirement dates for these units, please send me an email with the info, and I'll update the roster. Information for this roster comes primarily from Conrail Motive Power Review: 1986-1991 (1992) by Paul K. Withers, Conrail Motive Power Review, Volume 1: The First 10 Years 1976-1986 (1992) by Gordon Lloyd Jr. and Louis A. Marre, various Conrail Locomotive Data rosters, and Conrail enthusiasts around the world.
