QUOTE: Originally posted by M636C In 1977 I recall seeing the oldest EMD locomotive, an early prototype SC, I think, still in service on what I recall as a US Steel property in the general area of Pittsburgh. I'm sorry about not being more precise but it was a while ago in an unfamiliar area. It was painted red and yellow and had had a 567 engine of some sort installed to replace the 8-201A, but it still had the original GE electrical gear. I'd be surprised if it was still there working now, but was it preserved? Peter
