Eastern Railroad Discussion > Question about EMD LondonDate: 06/12/03 15:40 Question about EMD London Author: telus6429 I drove past EMD London on Tuesday and notice a bunch of new SD70m and 1 was being pulled out of the main factory line and pushed back across Oxford Street. The numbers were 212 to 218 sprayed on the sides, and the were in primer, grey doors, and yellow boxes under the cab. Can anyone tell me whats going on with these units.

Norfolk Southern has been known to accept units in primer, so check their roster first.

From what it sounds like the 212-218 are the number of units that have been built in the latest order from EMD.

Sometimes it\'s possible to note such numbers hastily sprayed on to make it easier to keep track of which unit is which during the construction process. There is no requirement that they be identifiable by the railroad assigned numbers until they leave the property.
