Will The REAL D&RGW 3075 Come Forward? |
Among some locomotive followers, there seems to be a debate as to the true heritage of newly painted NREX 3075 seen here in New Haven, Indiana on August 5, 2006. Early reports said the unit was ex-Denver & Rio Grande Western GP40 after being being rebuilt to GP38-2 specifications. (Photograph by: Alan Gaines) |
NREX Rainbow Fleet Grows |
In contrast to the their younger SD40-2 cousins, EMD SD50s were not popular among railroad personnel. Thus, it is not surprising to see that Ex-NS/Conrail #5453 is among the many SD50 cast-offs that the NRE has acquired. (Photograph by: Peter Bieber) |
Rare SD45-2Bs Find Way to NREX |
EMD in 1987 delivered to the Santa Fe eight six-axle 3600-hp cabless locomotives which carried road numbers 5510-5517. The builder classified the six-motor units as SD45-2Bs. Upon merger with the BN, the elongated roadswitchers were reassigned to the 7500 series. (Photograph by: James Sturtz) |
