D&H 6702 SW8 (GMD A112 11-24-50) has a long history
beginning with its assignment to yard service on the London Division
where it worked for decades. Eventually, after almost 50 years it was
retired 4-16-90. It was stored until being sold in 1992 to the Delaware
& Hudson (owned by CP) for use in Philadelphia, PA switching a small
port facility accessed by running rights gained by D&H during the
Conrail era. It was tied up unservicable 2/99 as obsolete and then sold
6/99 to LTEX 900 who rebuilt it 3/01 with a 900hp engine and m.u. and
sold 4/02 to WCI Steel 831, (formerly, Republic Steel) Warren,OH.
