EWG 8924 correct history and soon to be retired.

Author: Butler

Date: 12-12-2011 - 08:18

SD45, built 09/1971 as SCL 2024. Builder # 37715, frame # 5784-1 Became SBD 8924, CSXT 8924, VMV 8924, MRL 8924, IMRL 8924. Assigned MRL number 382 but never renumbered. SBD gray.

Correct. 8924 went from CSX to VMV, then to MRL.

8924 is in her last days of service before retirement. She is being traded for another ex SP tunnel motor:

ex UP 8702 renumbered 8 Jul 2001 Retired 5 Dec 2008, exx UP 4432,
exxx SSW 8375 renumbered 29 May 1998, Built: Feb 1978 Builder Number 776076-4
This information thanks to "Utah Rails"

Here is a nice picture by Charles Lahickey of SSW 8375 when nearly new

This change will leave EWG with just one SD45, NIWX 375, built 01/1968. Builder # 33857, frame # 7993-54. Ordered by the Pennsylvania, but delivered as Penn Central 6233. Served Conrail, then became CNW 6556, then NRE 6556, MRL 375, IMRL 375. Painted MRL blue. Recent picture of 375
