Juniata Shop Photos

Winter 2001-02
	In this angle from Sheetz we see an SW1500 that looks like it's going to be dipped in black before leaving the shop.
	NS 2220 has been shop switcher for quite a while. 2220 is posing on the original turntable.
	This is Q#1. This is a prime-mover test bed. Engines are placed on this body and tested. This is an Ex-Erie SD45 and one of two painted for the bicenntenial.
	It looks like the Union Railroad with all the end cab switchers out there. These are all SW1500's.
	Three units are sitting on the island including a CSX YN2 SW1500.
Spring 2002
	The shop switcher grabs an SD50. To the left is a GP50.
	The SD50 is pulled onto the turntable.
	This SD40-2 apears to have hit something at a crossing. Its anticlimber has been pealed half way back to the nose and part of the steps and pilot are missing.
Summer 2002
	Here is a GP38-2 on a flat car minus trucks and fuel tank. As of September 2004 this unit was in the deadline on shop trucks, but as of the end of 2007 was stripped down to a frame and cab.
February 2003
	NS 3425 has just been fired up. 3425 was one of several SD40's upgraded to SD40-2 by Juniata in 1993.
March 2003
	2109's hood is missing and its prime-mover is exposed.
	The shop switcher snags an C40-8W.
	SOU-painted 4610 shows up at Juniata for some heavy repairs. This unit was never owned by the Southern.
July 2003
	NPBL 1451 is seen at the Juniata Shop.
August 2003
	One of the Long Island Railroad's locomotives, a DE30AC, is parked at Juniata. The shop was awarded a contract to overhaul these engines including repairs the the engine mount.
December 2003
	In a scene that could easily pass for 1985, two Conrail units are at the turntable area. 9348 is an SW1001 and 7725 is a GP38. These two are probably being stripped of parts, even though 7725 is owned by CSX as it would turn out.
	Behind the Conrail units are a GP60 and a former Conrail MT-6.
	Behind the three old freight cars is smashed SD60.
January 2004
	NS 7030 sits near Chestnut Avenue without its highnose. This will be the third GP50 rebuilt into a GP38-3 become NS 5803.
	Shop switcher 2220 arrives to pull 5011, a high nose GP38-2, out of the shop. Notice 5011 has a shop truck under the cab.
February 2004
	NS GP60 7100 is snow-covered at the circle.
	NS 8311 awaits repairs after plunging nose first into the river next to the Conemaugh Line.
	Everything has a layer of snow on it today.
	The Transcaer unit, NS 4611, is without its hood and prime-mover.
March 2004
	Amtrak GP40PH 520 awaits rebuilding at Juniata. She will emerge as a GP38H-3.
	Amtrak 520's long hood sits on a NITX flat car at the shops. Q#1 is in the background.
	At another angle, Q#1, a GP rebuild frame, and the long hood for a GP rebuild sit on the same track.
April 2004
	Sandersville Railroad U25B slug #90 visits Juniata. The Conrail unit is an SW1200 and on 5/4/2004 was nothing but a frame and half a cab. Check out the photo below.
	Today I got lucky. Testbed Q#1 just had a prime-mover installed for testing and is being moved to the test shed. This is the first time I've seen an engine in it.
May 2004
	Here's an interesting unit. This is GENX 1013 before it was overhauled and armored. It is a former CR unit and went to Columbia
	CR 9368 is nothing more than a frame and half a cab in this shot. Bye-bye.
July 2004
	A future GP38-3 has received its new cab and nothing else.
	A night scene at the E&M shop.
	The Juniata sign that you'll see if you drive Chestnut Street in Juniata.
August 2004
	This UP unit was damaged while on loan to NS. Notice the damage to the nose. A GP38-2 or GP38-3 sits next to the SD70M.
September 2004
	NS 2557 has just been painted. Odd since she was built just five years before this photo.
	The GP38-3 rebuild in this photo is NS 7080; today it's running around as NS 5809.
January 2005
	From day to day Q#1 can be found anywhere around the circle.
	This is NS 8311, the C40-8 that was wrecked some time ago. Notice all the new metalwork. Check older photos for a "before" picture.
	Among a handful of units to be scrapped recently was CR 2022, a B23-7. Not too much longer and all that will be left is the trucks, and the frame cut up in four or five pieces.
March 2005
	The shifter crew just had a little oh shit.
May 2005
	As reported over the internet, Sandersville SW1500 1400 is at the shop. She's looking mighty clean, and check out the 5-chome horn.
	Amtrak 521, a just rebuilt GP38H-3, is trying to hide.
	Coaster F40PH-2C 2104 is next to the Sandersville switcher.
	SD60I.
	NS SW1500 2224 had her cab rebuilt. Apparently it was crushed somewhere.
	This marks the first time I've caught a unit getting cut down for rebuild.
	The guts have already been removed, and now the shop guys are cleaning out the cab.
	This is Amtrak 525 by the way.
