Lehigh Valley's Paducah Rebuild
Author: LV95032

How many did Paducah do for railroads other than IC / ICG?

IIRC, IC / ICG also rebuilt locomotives for Conrail, Alaska, Ashley Drew and Northern, and Clinchfield at Paducah. And they did the Mass. Bay Transportation FP10s.

Wasn't aware they did anything for Lehigh Valley.

If you had the cash and a rebuildable GP core, Paducah would do the job!

They also did at least one, and maybe more, for Precision!

IIRC, the LV unit was a one-off from a wreck rebuild.

They also rebuilt at least one from N&W's vast fleet of Geeps. Sadly, it didn't last much (if any) longer than the rest, sort of like the rebuilt "E10" that Amtrak bought from ICG. As for the CRR GP11's, it seemed almost like SCL had that done just to get a template for the "GP16" program. The CRR units wore Paducah "GP11" builder's plates, but SBD called them GP16's.

Great picture of a unique engine. Unfortunate that she got lost in the shuffle at CR; anybody have a photo of her in blue?
