Conrail inherited all of their SDP-45's from the Erie Lackawanna, which purchased the units in two orders in 1969 for fast merchandise freights. EL ordered the first set of units (EL 3635-3653 / CR 6667-6684) while the railroad was under the control of the Norfolk & Western. In 1984 Conrail returned this group of SDP-45's to the N&W, which had become Norfolk Southern by then. EL 3637 did not return since the EL had wrecked it in September 1975 and former EL 3639 (CR 6670) was donated to the Virginia Museum of Transportation. The units purchased in the second order (EL 3654-3668 / CR 6685-6699) were all returned to their lessor when their lease expired in January 1984, thereby ending the SDP-45's service on Conrail.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. If numbers are missing from the roster, Conrail intentionally left them open.
