Conrail RS3M Walk-Around (and Climb-On)

[Rudy Garbely]

Well, here you have it: an album with 79 detail pictures of an ex-Conrail RS3m, including every angle possible and roof shots (taken with permission). She's NDC RS3M #1546, ex-CR RS3M #9993, exx-CR RS3 #5376, exxx-CNJ RS3 #1546.

These were taken over the course of two trips a few months apart. She's in rough shape (EXTREMELY rusty - so bad that I didn't chance walking across the roof), but I don't think anything has been changed since Conrail had her. Heck, even the Conrail paint and red bugeyes are still there.

I'll bet you guys can all guess what project either my dad or I will be tackling in the near future...... ;D

Here's a few samples:

No problem, I'm an Alcoholic, I especially like the RS units. Here are a few links to my favorite RS-3m conversions.

The one unit EL made before the CR take over scroll down to #9998
