With the recent news of NS 5406's retirement, I will share a shot of the unit in happier times. In December 2012, the former Conrail SD50 was working on D6a, a Luther Yard (St. Louis) based turn used to pick up and drop of autoracks at the Wentzville GM plant. At the time, real CR paint was tough to find on NS; now it is almost completely gone. To see Brad Morocco's shot of the unit in late May 2013, click here.
