Glad to see 73 back when he wasn’t super old. He still runs well despite his old age of 55 years old. It’s almost unimaginable that these locomotives have been in continuous revenue service for this long. Hard and great maintenance by Marc workers made these diesel locomotive go way beyond their recommended lifespan it seems like.

0:06, Engine 73 is still in service to this day. The engine along with five others entered a rebuilding program by Progress Rail in Patterson, Georgia in 2019 and No. 75 was the first completed in April of 2022 and No. 73 is the last one in rebuild and should be completed by February next year. They are now classified as GP39H-3. It was involved in the 1996 Silver Spring Crash in Maryland with Amtrak’s Capitol Limited. It was trailing so it didn’t receive any damage.

The roof leaked bad, that’s what caused the roof to end up the shape it was during repairs. My Mom was a waitress all those many years from the 40’s through 1975 when it was sold to the people who bought it to become Ruby’s Diner when it sadly…really went down hill quickly. I loved the Silver Diner. My Mom And Stepdad met there. He was the short order cook for as long as I can remember. Gladys And Al Demers. It was a train car! It looked a little wide because as rumor had it? The foundation was too big for the car. What do you do? You split the car, pull it apart and weld everything back together with minor renovations. It also gave them a bigger downstairs where the oven cooking and the dishwashing took place and the bathrooms and refrigeration storage was too. Rest in peace Silver Diner!

Fun fact, if you head east from the plant on fourth street, there is a small railyard. And in that yard is a TON of PBNE locomotives abandoned in that yard. Not sure if they are visible from the road but on google earth they're sure there.

Thanks! That was my son’s choice. He has an eye for putting trains in the environment, even to the point of partial obscurity. Rita is one of my favorite spots on the CNJ and in over 45 of years of knowing it, it look his eye to see to it differently.

Conrail SD50 #6829 renumbered into #5473. And it sold into NREX. So that's why NREX SD50 #5473 was involved for kismet train collisions on June 14th 2006. However, it was damaged burn beyond repair and scrapped.
