EMD SD-70: Photos

All SD-70's were built to NS specs. The Conrail SD-70 is too new a locomotive for my tastes, which ends around 1997. They are interesting units, but look to much like NS jobs to make me happy. I would have preferred more SD-80MACs to these. My opinion.

Looking through a wide-angle lens makes these units look rather impressive. The paint looks fresh after only two months on the rails.

Standard unit. Not much else can be said about these locos, other than the model designation is black on this unit.

Rob says the unit was so fresh out of Juniata Shops that he could smell the paint! He also noticed that the "SD-70" designation on the battery box of this loco was done black, unlike on other SD-70's, which are white.

This might be one of the last locomotives by April still in original Conrail paint without a renumbering decal. Tom caught it on the Lehigh Secondary.

All it took was one winter in the northeast to make this unit look like a typical Conrail unit.

Captured on the Lower River track. Tony says that the unit was the lead unit on ATPI-3X (Altoona, PA - Pittsburgh/Conway, PA) after being released from the Juniata Shops. Well, the reason it is sitting in Conemaugh in this photo is because it experienced major computer problems and had to be set off here because the troubleshooters couldn't get the loco to cooperate.

Notice the numberboards, with the actual numbers painted on them. Not Conrail practice! You can tell these are NS engines all the way.
