Re: PC: GP-38 timeline

["Bill K." <pontiac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Genesee and Wyoming 50-51 are old Conrail units (heck one is still blue and
has been on G&W for 10 years or more!).  Anyhow according to some of the
articles on them, they were among the oldest GP38's built and supposedly
dated to 1965 (as NYC engines).   I had my doubts on that although the 645
dates back to 1966-67 and a few of the oldest PRR SD40's got rebuilt to
still run on Conrail now.  Anyone know how true that info is?
