-otto-

well, they can either be Prr, NYC, EL one was scrapped so thats out. NH possibly if it has a odd looking cupola. Hope this helps a little bit. .

Hello,

I do not know the answer to your question. but could you possible help me with this question on Snow Plow No. 64531 (Ex-NYC 625)? Looking for photos.

Do you have anymore info on her?
where was it stationed?
i cant seem to find anything on it in my CR snow service manual roster

Check Livernois Yard in SW Detroit. It probably had a snow plow a decade ago, when it was still Conrail before the sale. They must have a snow blower now, as I can hear a turbine running for hours after snow storms...

I believe Conrail 80012 to be Ex PRR 490389 Built in December 1917 with roller bearing trucks. I could not find any photos?

Otto, here are the heritages of the snow plows you are looking for. These are coming from my 1986 Conrail MOW roster that I have.

CR 64755 ex NYC 653 blt 9-52
CR 64567 ex NHS 18 blt 5-42
CR 64573 ex DLE 95907 blt 2-47

Scale test car
CR 80012 ex PRR 490389 blt 1-19.

Its not 80012, but I photographed two "sister cars" 80014 and 80051, 25 years ago:



Otto,
can you post your photo of 80012?
im curious if it looks the same as "my" cars..
probably all the same PRR pattern?

(80051 is a *slightly* different, newer version..photo shows "BLT 8-1934")

thanks,
Scot

Nice pic Scot.

This scale test car came down to Port Reading Junction on the OI16 on 12/30. I didn't have time to stick around - so I don't know if it stayed at Port Reading yard or if it went down to Browns.

NH-S-18 was the regular snow plow in Waterbury, Connecticut back in 1956, 1957 and 1958. It is nice to know that it is still around and available.

On the CR MOW Roster, are the Jordan Spreaders listed as well?

I am looking for builder numbers and heritage of two different units.

CR 64627 Built 1946 - was at Olean and then Buffalo
CR 64605.

I also wonder if CR had rebuilt either of them.

Thanks, Pat

64627 was NYC was NYC 6312, built in 1946, Serial 811, Type A, Model 3-175. I have the full manual set/parks book for it.

Seen CR 80014 in Lock Haven yard (NS) two times in a week. What was it before CR?
