GMTX 2623 |
| Description: |
Wandering the grounds of Metro East Industries, Incorporated, in Alorton, Illinois, is like browsing in a well-stocked hobby shop - Following every turn one discovers locomotives painted for yet another railroad or leasing company! At the southern end of a typically eclectic string of diesels is GMTX GP38-2 2623. This EMD product started out as Penn Central GP38 7932, later becoming part of the Conrail roster (as CR 7932) upon that railroads formation in 1976. When CRs assets were divided among Norfolk Southern and CSX, this GP38 became CSXT 1994. (Other power visible includes locomotives from former NJ Transit [now MVPX], Helm Leasing and CEFX.)

EVWR 3835 - Mount Vernon IN - 09/28/17 |
| Description: |
A three-unit set of Evansville Western locomotives lays over for the evening in Mount Vernon, Indiana, on September 28, 2017. Fifty-seven year old EVWR 3835 was built in September 1965 as Gulf Mobile & Ohio GP35 646. When the GM&O merged with the Illinois Central, this engine became Illinois Central Gulf 2543. It was later sold to the Paducah & Louisville (as their 2543), then to VMV, which rebuilt it to GP38-2 specifications (and numbered VMVX 3600), and it was then sold back to the PAL and numbered PAL 3600, before transferring to PAL's sister railroad Evansville Western. |

NS 5630 - Edison NJ - 03/11/18 |
| Description: |
Sitting on a Sunday morning in Conrail's Metuchin Yard in Edison, New Jersey, are a pair of EMD locomotives assigned to the Shared Assets (that is, Conrail) territory. As usual on Twenty-First Century Conrail, the power is split between Norfolk Southern and CSX. NS 5630 was built in July 1969 as Penn Central GP38 7702, which retained its number when PC was merged into Conrail. When Conrail was broken up in 1999, CR 7702 became Norfolk Southern 2894. The engine was rebuilt to "Dash 2" standards at NS's Juniata Shops in Altoona, PA, in March 2006, and renumbered 5630. (March 11, 2018) |
