This little SW-1 was switching out the Amtrak yard in Chicago. It looks like the PC never got around to repainting from NYC to PC. Note the NYC white stripe along the running board.
Location: Chicago, IL 8-4-78

This paint-out job on the cab is very unusual and seems to only have been done on some LV switchers. Former LV 115.

Another former PC unit working the Chicago passenger terminal yard. She looks beaten up. Are those shot gun wounds on the cab?

Conrail SW-1 8470 at the engine house in Hartford, CT, sometime in mid-1978. The switcher still has its NYC numbers with white running boad paint showing through. Check the boxcars behind and the ex EL RS-3 at the left edge of the photo.

Nothing was changed on this former Penn Central unit other than painting out the old logo with CR stencils.

What is it with crews leaving water jugs on the battery boxes of these locomotives?

The last unit in the Penn Central series, 8533 never seems to have gotten repainted by Penn Central but Conrail has stenciled it. Thankfully they left the logo and numbers intact. I bet the paint shop had to know this was the last PRR painted engine on property and couldn't paint over the old logo! The remnants of PRR's original PRR 1900 series number next to the headlight. Heck, it still has its original canvas radiator cover. Thanks a ton for this unique photo, John!

The Reading Company liked to apply some funky looking spark arrestors on their SW-1's, as can be seen in this and other photos. This is a spotting feature of former RDG units when repainted blue, if any were repainted. Former RDG 22.

Nearly ten months after the Conrail merger, and this unit is still in its original paint and numbers. It appears as if a Conrail paint crew painted some handrails white, while leaving others their original yellow.

Again like deadline units, many parts are missing or damaged on this unit. Always a sad sight.
