Is there any list of retirement or sale date of Norfolk Southern GP35s? They had a bunch at their merger, former Southern and former N&W. I think they also picked some up from Conrail (ex PRR)
Does anyone know of a listing of the fate of these engines? When did they get sold, or scrapped? I know NS only has one GP35 in current service.
Thanks!

Do you know the number of the one thats left. I can’t seem to find anything on it.
Yup, they are all gone…
And they have been for a while. Judging by what resources I have at hand, I can say that GP35s have been off Norfolk Southern’s roster since at least 1993. They sold a bunch of them to Guilford/Pan Am Rail in the 80’s, and they are still active, with some retired due to mechanical failures. Conrail dumped their last GP35s long before NS and CSX did a chainsaw merger with Conrail![soapbox]
I think a bunch of them were sold to Wheeling & Lake Erie. They have a nice fleet of GP35s.
