Conrail (CR) 6690 - EMD SDP45

CR SDP45 6690 is being hostled in the fog at Oak Island on 12FEB1984

Retired units awaiting the end. That EL hopper in the foreground must be counting its blessings, as two of its former locomotive colleagues, a U36C and SDP45, are headed for the gallows.

There will be a bunch of these. The Enola dead line abounded with all kinds of diesels in the mid 80s. I took several photos from points along US 11/15 hoping to capture some of the power that would soon be going to its final rest. Some nuits still wore their pre Conrail garb-note the ex EL GP 35 to the right rear.

An Eastbound with a pair of ex EL units leading.
