April 2008 Continued
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.
NS 5556, one of the FURX-financed GP38 rebuilds, visits the shop.
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.
I think we can assume these two boxes will be filled with concrete.
Out in front of the paint shop sit two frames and an SD40-3 conversion. Behind them is an NS SD50 with PRLX 4003 on the cab.
Here's a closer up shot of the details of the new cab on NS 2839.
2839 and 701 together.
It appears 7143 is to be scrapped. It has been reduced to a frame and cab in the last few weeks.
May 2008
A pair of GP38's on one of the freight shop leads.
The brick portion of the freight shop.
A couple new GE cabs were deilivered to the Juniata Shop to repair a few Dash 9's that were wrecked.
There are currently 12 long hoods stored here. Most of these are from SD40/RPU6 conversions.
NS 6504 is starting its conversion. 6504 is a rare SD50S.
Wide view of the circle.
Color here today.
NS 6522 starting conversion.
NS 1000 hasn't been seen in a while. Here it is next to one of the CEFX SD40-2's.
NS RPE4C 700.
The NS F units are out and ready for an OCS run.
NS 700 and 701 are together today.
Three or so C40-9W's showed up at Juniata with wreck damage. At least two are getting all new cabs. Here is one outside the wreck shop.
And closer up.
It appears 7143 is to be scrapped. It has been reduced to a frame and cab in the last few weeks.
A closer view of the cab shows lots of damage.
NS 2839 should be a GP38AC/GP40-2 slug master conversion.
The circle is packed today.
NS 2863 is starting its rebuild.
An SD40E and GP40-2 slug master are present.
New slug NS 879 arrived a couple days ago for completion and paint.
June 2008
NS 5417 has been modified to prepare for its conversion to SD40E. The long hood and electrical cabinet have been removed as well as everything inside the cab.
Flip flop. SD38 3802 is now out front. I believe 3802 will be converted to an RPU6.
One of the F units sits next to an SD40E.
NS 6522 is a future SD40E.
This scene at the circle shows a hood for one of the RPE4C road slugs.
NS 6522 appears to be ready for conversion to SD40E after being stripped of all major parts.

NS 3284 has been stored here for about two years.
Lots of Conrail GP38s are still available for rebuild.
August 2008
NS 2949 is in the process of being stripped down. It is interesting that the prime-mover, electrical cabinet, and control stand all remain in place in this photo.
Another shot of 2949.
NS 34, the original research slug which was converted from an SD35 slug many years ago has been released from the shop after a several month overhaul including rewiring, and the addition of an air conditioned cab for computer equipment.
NS 3095 is the second of this group of GP40-2 slug masters to be rebuilt from a GP38AC.
The island has interesting power on it today: SD50, Research Slug, GP40-2 slug master, and an SD60I.
