A pair of new CR SD50's |
Description: |
Delivered by EMD in April of 1985, CR SD50 #6783 sits with a "pack" of other blue CR units. The 135 SD50 units that Conrail ordered between 1983-86 took care of the growing power demand as shipping increased following the Staggers Act passage. After the CR breakup, this loco would become NS 5448. CR conductor Ken Taylor took the color slide of this CR "pack". |
