During the early years of the railroad, Conrail needed new power to replace many of the battered units it had inherited from its predecessor roads. The new GP-40-2's began arriving on the system in 1977, though five units had been inherited in 1976 from the Reading Company. These were powerful and reliable locomotives designed to handle high-speed, light weight trains such as intermodal. While they originally performed much of their service hauling intermodal trains, Conrail's GP-40-2's by the 1990's could be found in nearly every type of mainline train.Comprehensive Roster [Download PDF Version
]The roster below is comprehensive for these units between April 1976 and May 1999, and contains all predecessor units of the locomotive class that Conrail inherited as well as those Conrail purchased. If numbers are missing from the roster, Conrail intentionally left them open. It does not contain retirement dates and dispositions due to their complex nature. All of the units were retired prior to June 1999.
