What ever happened to SEPTA diesel 90?

It is an ex-LIRR HEP cab unit built from an Alco.

An email list devoted to these units is at:

Info on any of these units (including pictures) in any of their incarnations is greatly appreciated on the list.

Whatever happened to it, it didn't hang around SEPTA long. Here's a shot of it in Lansdale PA back in 1991 http://members.tripod.com/jnlcubed/photoalbum/page2.html
