SD-7 |

Conrail inherited their fleet of 2 SD-7's from Penn Central, who inherited them from the Pennsylvania Railroad. Conrail placed these two units in the 6998-6999 series. (New Photos: Apr 1, 2001) |

Former PRR and Penn Central units, the SD-9 took the series 6900-6925. Primarily hump-duty locomotives, the SD-9's were retired in the early 1980's. (New Photos: Jul 12, 2003) |

Conrail received their SD-35's from the Penn Central and Jersey Central, placing them in series 6000-6051. Conrail began retiring these locomotives in 1983, finishing in 1984. (New Photos: Sep 17, 2004) |

SD-38 |

The SD-38 (CR 6925-6959) was best suited for hump and yard duty. Conrail inherited their fleet from the Penn Central and often paired them with slugs. (New Photos: Jul 7, 2002) |

SD-40 |

Conrail inherited its entire SD-40 fleet (CR 6240-6357) from the Jersey Central and Penn Central. By 1976, production on the 3,000hp SD-40 had been replaced with the upgraded Dash-2 series. (New Photos: Dec 17, 2007) |

SD-40-2 |
 |
In 1977 the first order of SD-40-2's came on Conrail property. With their high-tractive effort and horsepower, they quickly replaced aging SD-45's on mainline trains, taking the series 6358-6524. (New Photos: Dec 24, 2005) |
|
SD-40-2R |
 |
In 1993 Conrail began rebuilding 40 SD-40's to the improved Dash-2 specifications, assigning them to series 6960-6999. (New Photos: Apr 25, 2006) |

SD-45 |
 |
Conrail inherited their SD-45's from Penn Central, Reading Company, and Erie Lackawanna, placing them in CR 6066-6239. Maintenance headaches and inefficient, the SD-45's were eventually replaced by SD-40-2's. (New Photos: Sep 27, 2004) |
|
SD-45-2 |
 |
Conrail inherited 13 3,600hp SD-45-2's from Erie Lackawanna, placing them in series CR 6654-6666. Famous as pushers over the Horseshoe Curve, all units survived until 1999. (New Photos: Sep 12, 2007) |

SDP-45 |
 |
All of Conrail's SDP-45's (6998-6999) came from the Erie Lackawanna, which purchased the units in two orders in 1969 for fast merchandise freights. (New Photos: Sep 12, 2007) |

SD-50 |
 |
Between 1983-1986 Conrail purchased 135 3,500+ horsepower SD-50's in series 6700-6834, making Conrail the second largest owner in the nation. (New Photos: Jul 22, 2007) |

SD-60 |

In 1985, Conrail purchsed the original three SD-60 demo units, making them CR 6840-6842. Then in 1989 they purchased another 25 units, making them CR 6843-6867. (New Photos: Apr 25, 2006) |

SD-60M |
 |
In late-1992, Conrail purchased 74 3,800hp SD-60M's, basically SD-60's with a wide-cab, assigning them series CR 5500-5574. CR 5544 is an SD-60I. (New Photos: Jan 15, 2006) |
|
SD-60I |
 |
Unable to purchase more SD-60M's from an over-booked EMD, Conrail's Juniata shops assembled SD-60I kits that EMD supplied, assigning finished units to CR 5575-5654 and CR 5544. (New Photos: Dec 25, 2005) |

SD-70 |
 |
The last locomotives to wear Conrail blue, the standard cab, DC-powered SD-70 (2557-2580) was purchased by Norfolk Southern instead of the ordered SD-80MAC's. Units follow NS numbering. (New Photos: Feb 2, 2006) |
|
SD-70MAC |
 |
Conrail purchased the 4,000hp SD-70MAC instead of more SD-80MAC's, building the units to CSX specifications. These were the final locomotives to wear the special "white-face" paint scheme. (New Photos: Mar 4, 2006) |
|
SD-80MAC |
 |
Needing high-horsepower, high-tractive-effort locomotives in the 1990's for hauling coal over the Pittsburgh and Boston Lines, Conrail purchased General Motors Locomotive Group's (GMLG) new 5,000hp SD-80MAC (New Photos: Jul 22, 2005) |
