| CSX GP38-2 2733 was found in the Pioneer Railway's Harwood Yard (formerly known as Pigeon Creek Siding) on September 28, 2017. This engine was built in February 1973 as Penn Central 8091. When Conrail was formed three years later, it became CR 8091. When Conrail's assets were divvied up between CSX and Norfolk Southern in 1999, this locomotive became the property of CSX Transportation, and was renumbered to CSXT 2733. Just three owners in 44 years? Compared to some engines, that isn't bad. (Photographed on railroad property with permission and full PPE.) |
