The Diesel Shop at Year-- 30

January 1995 Phoro: It is Wednesday January 25 and a trio of new Conrail Quality C40-8Ws are in Provo, Utah approximately 1450 miles from home rails. Fresh from the General Electric plant in Erie, Pennsylvania, the trio are part of a 30-unit 'Warranty Protection' fleet assigned to the Union Pacific railroad. The newcomers are ready to lead a UP Wattis Plateau to Long Beach coal train. (photo by James Belmont)

Diesel Shop Cornerstone

This website was created on November 17, 1994. It was envisioned as the "Home to First and Second Generation Locomotives;" a place in cyberspace where the records of yesterdays's and today's locomotives are stored for tomorrow's research. The graphic banner above was a part of the original website, and it is used here as a simple reminder of those early days -- 30 years ago!
