Eastern Railroad Discussion > VRE x54 at Conway,PADate: 02/13/11 07:11 VRE x54 at Conway,PA Author: operatorjoe Spotted at Conway,PA Saturday. Came in as third unit of 18A. Looks futuristic. Is this something that has not been in service before? If this has been discussed already, I missed it.
Joe  Date: 02/13/11 07:25 Re: VRE x54 at Conway,PA Author: CR6444 Looks like its been forwarded to VRE to Ivy City, Washington DC, coming out from Boise Locomotive where she was built.
CR Date: 02/13/11 08:56 Re: VRE x54 at Conway,PA Author: dharris Brand new on it's way to VRE. They have three of them (51-53) on the property now, and are getting more.
dharris Date: 02/13/11 08:57 Re: VRE x54 at Conway,PA Author: toledopatch Last one, the 53, went east a couple of weeks ago on 18M (via Roanoke). Interesting that this one has been routed differently.

It is interesting that this one has been routed via Conway instead of across the ex-N&W as the others have been. I hear through the grapevine that VRE's 55 is on it's way, also.
