| Constructed in 1957 for the Pennsylvania Railroad, this former GP-9 was one of over two hundred such units the Pennsy operated throughout their vast system. Rebuilt to a GP10 while owned by Conrail, this locomotive has also seen service on freight and passenger trains at Jim Thorpe, and switching service at a quarry near Hershey, before coming to the former Reading Company Colebrookdale Line. Owned by Clinton Terminal Railroad of North Carolina, and leased to the Colebrookdale Railroad at the time of this photo, it has since moved on to Steam Into History at New Freedom, PA. Seen here departing Boyertown with a Christmas special. |
