EBGX #7236
Locomotive No. 7236 was built by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors in October of 1959 as a GP9 for the Pennsylvania Railroad. It served as a freight engine, and was part of the Penn Central merger 1968. Once Conrail took over the Penn Central in 1976, 7236 was part of the “GP10 conversion program” at the Paducah shops in 1979 where it received electrical and mechanical upgrades and was renumbered to locomotive No. 7587. 7236 was then sold into private service, and worked in a rock quarry for many years. 7236 arrived to the Colebrookdale Railroad on January 19th, 2016, received a fresh paint job, and it’s dedication ceremony took place in May of 2016 and has proudly served us ever since.
