| Conrail Class N-8A 23660, location unknown, August 1981, photo by Chuck Zeiler. I'm pretty sure this was shot in the Chicago area. Built in 1948 by the International Car and Railway Equipment Company as a class NE6 for the New Haven (road #'s C635-C709), they were rebuilt by the Penn Central into class N8A around 1970. The windows in the cupola were sealed up, a water tank was suspended from the ceiling and bay windows were installed on its sides. In the upper right corner it is stencilled PC 23660. |
