Remarks & Notes |
”EROUTE FOR OVERHAUL ALTOONA BACK SHOP”(sic)
Conrail’s Mechanical Department in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, wanted to make sure this SW8 made it to Altoona without being commandeered for service in one of the yards between there and Altoona. Former Lehigh Valley 259, the twenty-nine year old veteran is making its curtain call in Cornell Red. It will return from Altoona in a new Conrail Blue paint job.
