EMD SD-45: Photos

A close-up cab shot of a friendly engineer and CR 6072 (former EL) SD-45 coming around famous Horseshoe Curve in July 1980. John says that he loves this photo because it really shows how much fun railfanning early Conrail was. I can't agree more!

Former EL 3617 in Conrail's first blue scheme. You can easily tell this was an Erie Lackawanna unit because the air horn is mounted over the engineer's side of the cab roof. You EL modelers out there take notice how the horn is mounted and the hose running into the front of the cab wall.

Arnie caught this CR-stenciled former EL SD-45 sitting on the dead track in Altoona, its life on Conrail over. Note the overspray of maroon paint on the nose.

Another one of those oddball paint jobs, for whatever reason 6103 (former RDG 7603) does not have its large wheels-on-rails logo. It would eventually get a logo. Note the extended cab and the RDG pilot stripes showing through. If you look closely you will also see other parts of the RDG scheme under the blue.

You have to love this unit! Check out the PRR keystone someone uncovered on the long hood, plus the battered PC logo. This unit actually saw service in this condition before Brian captured it on the dead line in Altoona. The early days of Conrail were wild times. Also notice the 'Collinwood' maintenance designation under the cab numbers.

A freshly painted SD-45 CR 6122 leads a ballast train downhill backward in to the Horseshoe Curve. Only several days earlier, it had been in Conrail stencils--now it's blue.

A few former PC locomotives had their original PRR keystone logo 'revealed' by a Pennsy fan. An interesting loco to run on any model layout!

Erie Lackawanna:

Taken prior to the Conrail merger. If you compare this photo to those EL units above that got the CR-stencils, you'll see just how little these locos changed while on CR. This unit survived on roster as CR 6085 before being retired.

Seven months after the merger of Conrail, EL 3622 is still in its original colors, along with PC 2617, which seems to be having some problems with its engine doors. EL 3622 was to be renumbered CR 6087.
