C32-8 survivors

[scottychaos]

Only 10 C32-8 locomotives were ever built, all belonged to Conrail.

There has been some incorrect info going around the internet the last few years concerning the current status of these engines..

Most people have believed that all of the C32-8's have been scrapped except one. The "lone survivor" was recently operating in Georgia.
there are reports that unit has now been scrapped..
meaning all of the C32-8's ever built are now gone forever..

well..that is WRONG!
I dont know where the info that "all have been scrapped except the one in Georgia" came from, but that info is incorrect..

there are at least two of the C32-8's in storage at RMDI in Pittston, PA.
possibly as many as 6..but we have photographic evidence for at least two, photos taken in January 2006.

their future is far from secure..they are not operating,
and they could be scrapped.
If anyone wants to save one of these rare GE's..now's the time!

Digging thru some of these older threads..........whatever became of these units?

[C430]

Were any of the C32-8's painted in the NS thoroughbred scheme?

According to this website, these units retained their Conrail paint......

All the remaing C32-8s are in Ballast Express Grey except for one in Brazil that is in this paint scheme.

My photos from RMDI in late April 2007 shows NS 8464 as a heap of grey scrap metal. The others have their steps cut off, no numberboards, and other missing parts.

I need to post those pictures I know.
