This unit was paired with CR 6620 and assigned to 'Ballast Express' service. These were not repainted gray like the C32-8's were. Markings are below cab numbers.

This is an icy scene! 6635 has more snow and ice on it than a crew would like to see.

Side view of the 6638. The unit is showing some wear and rust at various spots, which was common with these locomotives. For detail photos of this locomotive see the C36-7 Detail Photos page.

Another shot of 6638 from a different angle. Notice the pattern of dirt on the rear hood, most likely from washers having a tough time getting off the grime.
