Wait, it already becomes NS 6134 (just retaining NW paint) if in 1985, because the merger began in 1982. It was completed on 12/31/1990. The merger was completed just one year before this tragic accident in 1991 that destroyed this locomotive and two other locomotives. I hope nobody perished in that accident. I am also curious if there were any other locomotives involved
