Not bad looking!Question-did any of the ex CR's get painted black while still in the 9500 series(before the -9 numbers starting going up and up and up)?Shot many "patched" with the same # as they wore on CR,just wondering.Thanks,RAD

thats a VERY RARE switcher, one of the few origional SOUTHERN SW1500`s
left on the NS roster. and yes most had horns on each end , one even
had a stereo system installed that plated loud music.

The first former Conrail switcher to be repainted was former Conrail SW1500 No. 9600 and it was given number 2238 when repainted in 12-99.

Very nice switcher. Im actually a big fan of their paint. I like the tiger stripes on the pilot.

I wondered if you shot that. Tony, it probably was the same train, NS 13V, formerly known as the Conrail PICO, Conway to Buckeye. The lead unit was the PRR 54-- shown in the earlier post with the engineer in the window.
