first of all, http://www.rr-fallenflags.org is the address. And second, I don't think the N&W ever had SD50's. NS does.
yes i tried fallen flags and yes the n&w had them they were the last delivered before the merger with southern.
I know what you are talking about! The N&W received some "test bed" SD50's that were informally called SD50s ("s" as in short!). They were built on SD40-2 underframes. I think there were only 5 or 6 of them... I'll have to check some references to be sure. Harold
Being from the South, I didn't recognize what was on this unit at first (snow) http://gelwood.railfan.net/ns/ns6502k.jpg Harold
N&W bought 6 SD50s models 6500-6505 (built on SD40-2 length frames as noted above). I can't locate any pics on the web (except in NS), but I do have pics at home. Email me if you can't find any. Mark
I have a N&W book, but no personal photos to share. In fact, I have very few N&W units, as they rarely made it down in these parts. Harold
I don't have this issue, but a search turned this up (and you may find it in a library): Model Railroader January 1984 Electro-Motive's SD-50, many photos and article SD50 predecessors I have a hunch on where the BEST pictures are and hopoe to report back soon Harold
In my copy of N&W Second Generation Diesels, there are 3 photos of SD50s' in NW paint. I am also thinking there was an article in Diesel Era about these units, but I have not had a chance to find it. Harold
I have a Terry Kirkland photo of N&W #6500 with NW on the nose. Very nosey shot and will have to move it over to the hard drive to post it here.
