Conrail purchased a total of 135 SD-50's between 1983 and 1986, making them the second largest owner of the model next to CSX. The SD-50 marks several significant changes over the prior "Dash 2" series. The most noticeable change is the plainer look of the SD-50 compared to the SD-40-2. By mid-1999 Conrail's SD-50 fleet had definitely seen better days. Most units were covered in rust, dirt, and dents, with peeling and faded paint. They were interesting Conrail locomotives to catch if you liked your Big Blue down and dirty.Comprehensive Roster
The roster below is comprehensive for these units, which were purchased beginning in 1983 and survived on roster until 1999. This roster based on information from CR Locomotive Data books.
