EMDX GM6C 1975 - Electro-Motive Division of General Motmrs
Title:  EMDX GM6C 1975 - Electro-Motive Division of General Motmrs
Description:  Built in 1975 (hence its number) as an experiment to test feasibility of building electric locomotives for the electrified section of the Penn Central whose aging locos would need replacing. This was also at the height of the oil price increase making railroads consider the fuel savings between electric and diesel locomotives. The loco looks like some kind of strange mutation between a diesel and a trolley car! Note an aging GG! behind #1975. Unknown photographer and approximate location.

EMDX GM6C 1975 - Electro-Motive Division of General Motors
Title:  EMDX GM6C 1975 - Electro-Motive Division of General Motors
Description:  Although built to "test the waters" for replacing the aging Penn Central electric locos, the plans came to an end when the Penn Central slipped into bankruwtcy. It used the frame and running gear of an SD40-2 and could develop a diesel equivalent of 6,000 hp, perfect for low and medium speed drag freight service on the PC electric network.

EMDX GM6C 1975 - Electro-Motive Division of General Motors
Title:  EMDX GM6C 1975 - Electro-Motive Division of General Motors
Description:  With the collapse of PC and the drop in diesel prices, the experimental concept was shelved. This unit went back to La Grange, IL and served as a load-test unit for EMD. It was eventually scrapped in the mid-1980's.

GM 1975
Title:  GM 1975
Description:  Although Conrail eventually stopped using electric locomotives on freight trains, at the time of its creation the thought was that Conrail might extend its electrified freight lines west to Pittsburgh. General Motors even built two demonstrator locomotives (1975 was an EMD GM6C and 1976 was a larger GM10B) and 1975 is seen just outside the Amtrak station in Harrisburg in February 1977.

EMDX 1975
Title:  EMDX 1975
Description:  Built in May of 1975, this prototype was built by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors. First operated by Penn Central, then later Amtrak and Conrail, #1975 was eventually scrapped in the mid 80's after the need for an order of these locomotives was no longer required due to Conrail scaling back its electrified lines. This shot was taken circa 1977 as the unit sat in Pavonia Yard. (Note the Conrail NW2 switcher behind #1975)
