Title: NS 8436 Description: Nothing special about these light engines on the NS at Crawford, or is there? NS 8436 was ex-CR 6259. This unit was wrecked at Effingham, IL on 12/22/1995, and rebuilt with a "cab kit" which had the high mounted numberboards and no marker lights, different from all other CR C40-8Ws.

The attached picture is of 8436 still in Conrail blue working as a helper unit behind a BNSF unit on a Westbound loaded coil train in Leetonia, Ohio on 8-12-10.

I had NS 8436 (ex CR 6259) as my lead unit on 212 the other day. I know CSX has at least one like this too with the high numberboards. They look a bit strange. I am assuming any and all that have them were wrecked. Larry

The unit (ironically) became NS #8436 as a result of the Conrail split. Few UP C40-8W/C41-8W units have since been retrofitted with ATS (Automatic Train Stop) capabilities and features for operating local service in the Chicagoland area, where block signals are very strict and are known to suddenly change in regards to dense traffic.
