CR SD50 #6721 |
| Description: |
Probably still "smelling like a new locomotive" is this SD50 unit, barely a month old. Not much road grime has even had a chance to speck the fuel tank or wheel sets yet. Eventually this loco would join the NS roster as their #5412. CR conductor Ken Taylor took the color side in the Conway yard. |

A pair of Conrail SD50's |

Now about 3 months old, these two SD50's were part of 135 that Conrail ordered to fill the increasing need for modern power. They were well suited to the CR region and lasted beyond the CR era. #6722 became NS 5413 while #6734 became NS 5420. CR conductor Ken Taylor took this color slide of the pair in the foggy February morning. |

A pair of CR SD50's |
| Description: |
Nice pair of new SD50's ordered by Conrail to offset the need for modern power after retiring many of their inherited locos. CR conductor Ken Taylor snapped this shot of the pair as they sat in the Conway yard. The date given for this view was May of 1984 but from the barren trees, it looks like closer to March or April of 1984. |
