Delivered to Penn Central as PC 7761 GP38 in August 1969, this Geep would enter Conrail keeping the Penn Central assigned number in April 1976. In 1986 this unit was sold to Chicago, Missouri & Western as CMNW 2022 in '86 and would later become Gateway Western 2022 when the latter purchased the former. This GP38 would later join Helm, receive a rebuilt, and emerge as HLCX 3615 but it does not appear the model designation was changed. In 2005 this GP38 was sold to Yadkin Valley as YVRR 3615 then transferred to Conecuh Valley Railroad as COEH 3615 and finally renumbered COEH 2022 in April 2013. In this photo HLCX 3615 is spotted preparing to depart KCS' Dallas Yard with an Atlanta bound intermodal train sporting a fresh coat of paint. |
