Current Pennsy Supply locos |
| Description: |
Long gone are the GE U23Bs and B23-7s, having been gradually replaced with EMD 6 axle SD units. Currently, a PRLX SD40-2T of SSW heritage and a SD40M-3 of BN heritage holds down the fort. Notice the classic license plate above the headlight on 2836. |

WIMX SD40M-3 6521 roster shot |
| Description: |
WIMX 6521 hails from HLCX as their 6521, keeping its numberboards, but receiving an all-encompassing coat of blue paint (even the coupler!). Evidently, this unit was built as aSD45, CS 868. After a career with a 20 cylinder, it became a part of a Dash 3 upgrade program by Boise Locomotive for Helm. Its claim to fame can be that it helped keep CSX afloat in the early 2000s as they were desperately hungry for any power. The Dash 3 comes from the Woodward CLC system that controls it. CLC was never a large success, and Woodward stopped producing parts for it around the new millennium. In 2020, parts for it are exceedingly rare, and with the age of the installation, they have become unreliable to operate. More often than not, railroads will simply cut up a CLC equipped locomotive for scrap rather than spend the $40K to replace it, especially a ubiquitous locomotive like a SD40 type. Helm had such rebuilds in the 6000 and 6500 series, and can be said to be the only operating survivor from the original set of 26 units rebuilt (the other two, 6510 and 6517, are merely just empty shells for display). While it may just appear to be a bland blue locomotive, it has rich history and is unlikely to have survived. |

2785 looking a little worse for wear. |
| Description: |
WIMX U23B 2785 is sans engine cowl and battery box doors, exposing how badly it is rusting. I think it is safe to say this unit is not long for this earth. |

2785 rear third |
| Description: |
With all the grates and vents missing, you can see the large radiator fan of the unit. I wonder where these parts ended up? Did they have some extra value as scrap, or maybe they are keeping another U23B alive? Who knows. |

Probably the last view of 2785 I will ever get. Looking bare as ever. Notice that the handrails on the conductors side have been cut off at the base. Harbinger of things to come? |
