Here's a frame between a C40-9W and NS 1000. |
|
V08 has a V12 under the hood. NS 7200 is inside the E&M shop behind V08. |
|
HLCX 5959. |
|
NS 4270. |
|
Chestnut Avenue beside the Juniata Shop. |
| October 2007 | |
|
Three Juniata rebuilds, a GP38-3, a future GP40-2, and a new RPU6. |
|
Plow storage is next to the big sign. |
|
The big brown building is the power plant. The Juniata Shop generates its own electricity, steam, and air from coal-fired boilers. |
|
The building in the middle is the General Office Building. |
|
Main entrance. |
|
Another part of the powerplant. |
|
The main sign again with the stack behind. |
|
Juniata from the sky again. |
|
Facing northeast. |
|
Notice the OCS F units are coupled nose to nose at the circle. |
|
Wide on the circle. |
|
To a get a side view of the shop, we have to fly quite a distance away to get everything in the shot. |
|
New slug NS 874 has fresh paint but is missing its trucks. |
| November 2007 | |
|
SAN 1100, an SW1500 is at JBS for work. |
| December 2007 | |
|
A crane lowers a new cab onto a frame belonging to a GP40-2 rebuild. |
|
NS 2206 has been moved over to the circle within the last couple days. This is where they strip the units down to a frame. |
| January 2008 | |
|
These two SD50's (6509 and 6525) were just plucked from the deadline. In April 2008, they became PRLX 4003 and 4004. |
|
SD9M at the freight shop. |
|
Another HLCX SD60 has been released from the shop after some work. |
| February 2008 | |
|
HLCX unit here for overhaul. |
|
Apparently the NRE 3GS21B's haven't been performing well. 301 is back at JBS for maybe the 2nd time since going into service. |
| March 2008 | |
|
Yet another frame being stripped at JBS. This frame belongs to a long hood forward geep. |
|
NS 6512 looks suspiciously like a future SD40-3. |
|
VRE V24 is here for work with NS 7216 in the background. |
|
Now sure what the white canvas is all about, but this unit should signal the restart of the 5600 rebuilds I imagine. |
|
VRE V31. |
|
NS 4133 has joined 2874. |
|
NS 6512 has been blasted and primed. The next step is to begin adding all the guts. This will be the first SD50/SD40-3 conversion. |
| April 2008 | |
|
A frame from a future NS rebuild has a pair of CEFX lease units as company. |
|
NS 6512 has been pulled out of the wreck shop and sits along Chestnut Avenue. |
|
About 3/4 of the GP38's stored in the deadline have been removed and brought over to the lumber tracks. This is where locomotives are placed before they enter a rebuild program. |
|
This frame belongs to NS 3199, an SD40/SD40-2 conversion. |
|
Side view of NS 6512. |
|
The three CEFX visitors are still here. |
|
NS 5431, an SD50, has been stored here for at least a year or so. Looks like it will have a new life as an SD40E. |
|
2218 was the regular Altoona switcher but it's been in the shop for quite a while. Here it is with the main generator removed. |
|
After receiving some damage to its radiator, NS 3329 is at the shop with its long hood removed. |
|
NS 7143 has been here for quite a while. Just a few weeks ago this unit was stored behind the Miscellaneous #2 building. |
|
Here's a future GP40-2 rebuild. Work has already started on it. |
|
Another shot of 3329. |
|
NS 5417 is a future SD40E conversion. |
|
Look at all the blue. |
|
Three frames and a slug. |
|
This is the 2839. It should become a GP40-2 slug master. |
|
This is the NS 701, former RJC 2792, one of two RPE4C road slugs being built. Notice the two steel boxes on the 701. |
