SRC 8618 was built in 1953 by EMD as a model SW8, NYC 9618 builder's number 16193. It was renumbered to NYC 8618, becoming PC 8618 and CR 8618 before being sold. 8618 currently sports a similar paint scheme to the one it would have (and did) wear in the New York Central days. With the same numbering, the only thing that differs is that the side reads "Strasburg".
Locomotive No. 89 ran on the Canadian National Railway for most of her life before being sold to the Green Mountain Railroad in New Hampshire. After just a few years on the Green Mountain RR, the locomotive was sold to the Strasburg Rail Road in late Spring 1972. The harrowing experience battling Hurricane Agnes’ flood waters during her journey to Strasburg is chronicled in “Images of Rail: Strasburg Rail Road.” Today, No. 89 is still an active locomotive at Strasburg and is often the locomotive of choice to pull smaller train consists.
