History of 3636

What is the history of NYSW 3636 meaning its old railroads? And is it a FP45 or a F45P-1 and not associated with FP45s?

F45, Built 1971 as BN 6640. Bill T

Was this unit ordered by the Great Northern and delivered after the merger, or did BN actually order more of these units post merger?

Here is some info you may find useful!

I don't know. I read it in a book and saw it on a roster website for the NYSW. It didn't sound right to me either.

When is was first painted in the Susquehanna colors at Little Ferry by engineer Andy Frankovic, it was numbered 6370.
The paint wasn't even dry and the hash mark strips hadn't even been applied but the engine made its maiden voyage in its new colors on a business car special from Little Ferry - Warwick - Maybrook - Campbell Hall, then east via NJT back to Passaic Jct. From what I remember, it just had the "Popemobile" car # 509 in the consist.

Wasn't it 3638 that was orgianally numbered 6370?

6370 did indeed become 3638. Sold with the other straight 45s, now she's stored on the MRL.
