Juniata Shop Photos

February 2007 Continued
	Here's a wide view of the original 110 foot turntable and E&M shop.
March 2007
	A shop worker has climbed up on this SD50 for some reason.
	NS SD45-2 1700 minus fuel tank.
	The SD70M-2's are here for minor wiring modifications. Apparently they weren't quite built exactly right.
	The only thing I hate about shooting engines at the turntable, is most of them have their rear facing the camera.
	NS GP38-3 5830
	NS GP38-3 5831 and testbed 1000.
	Nothing but EMD's.
	Interesting mix of power.
	New cab parts for 5600 and 5800 rebuilds sit outside of the wreck shop. These new cabs come from Super Steel in Schenectady, NY.
	New RPU6 slug 871 converted from an SD40 is sitting near the paintshop in primer waiting for black paint. This slug came from Roanoke.
	Four scale test cars are in view near the tank/steel shop. One of them is a 2-axle car.
	These two are ready for pickup at JBS. The SD60I has obviously received overhauled trucks.
	Five long hoods sit at the west end of the shop. Two of them belong to NS 870-871.
	An SD60I is put through its paces on the Juniata test track.
	Variety of power at the turntable.
	This frame belongs to NS 2869. 2869 had the honor of working with the first GP50 rebuild, NS 5801, just after it was released.
	Crews are torching off everything on the top of NS 1589.
	NS 1589 will become an RPU6 in the 870 series.
	Another shot.
	NS 40, an HEP-equipped boxcar for the OCS train, is pulled outside the Miscellaneous Shop.
	Again a shot of the GP38's stored behind the freight shop.
	In this crappy shot, we see three of the four F units, plus a pair of GP38-2 rebuilds for load simulation, ready to make their first run on the mainline.
April 2007
	It appears that CR 7725 is leaving for a CSX shop near you. She's been stored in the deadline for around ten years.
	Usually the only engine running at the E&M shop is shop switcher NS 2220. Today this C40-8W was idling next to Sheets.
	Some hood doors are open.
	NS 1376 is being reduced to a frame for rebuild. This would become NS 3071, the first GP40/GP40-2 rebuild.
	Do not remove that cabinet-type thing on the front.
	Overall shot.
	The previous C40-8W again.
	An SD40-2 is standard Conrail blue.
	Here's an SD40 frame stripped to become an RPU6.
	Juniata Shop looking south.
	Juniata Shop looking west.
	Panned west.
	Closer up on the E&M shop and turntable.
	Closer on some of the original 1880's shop buildings. The brown building is the test shed, and the paint shop is on the left.
	Zoomed in on the testshed.
	Juniata from the east.
	Another view of the original section of the Juniata Shop. Again, the brown testshed and blue paintshop are modern additions.
	Juniata from the south. All of the main buildings are in view in this photo.
	Look very carefully at this circle and you can see the outlines of the roundhouse that once stood here. The roundhouse was the erecting shop of the Altoona Car Shops which included what it today Lumax, Home Nursing Agency, and Union Tank Car Co.
	Lots of Conrail-painted GP38's are here for rebuild.


	NS 1374 is currently undergoing rebuild from GP40 to GP40-2 for yard service with 4-axle slugs.
	A pair of GP40 frames are next to an SD60M.
	This EMDX SD45 is a diamond in the rough.
	Three EMD's.
