Jan 15, EMD “E9” Locomotives

Conrail, short for the Consolidated Rail Corporation, was a government creation to save the Northeastern rail network in the 1970s.

The SD9 was the six-axle version of its popular and successful GP9. It proved the bestselling first-generation road-switcher EMD cataloged.

The Kennebec was a joint Boston & Maine/Maine Central train operating the busy Boston to Bangor corridor, which was later upgraded to streamlined status.
