If one takes the viewpoint of a "strict constructionist", this locomotive (CV 3608) should be preserved as a CV unit-for it was modified extensively at St. Albans. The prima facie evidence is the lowered short nose. > Sounds like a good candidate to go to Duluth > with her DW&P background.

I know I'm going to be corrected if I'm wrong, but I *think* all the CV RS11's retained their tall short hoods until retirement, and the nose chop was done by the LVRC, NH&V, or some subsequent owner. The CV RS11's are the last mainline Alcos I ever pursued, and every one I ever saw had tall noses. Indeed, I have photos of that very loco in CV paint with a tall nose. LNER4472-NOSPAM-@bcpl.net |

Maybe Bob Yarger can confirm on deny-but I do recall seeing a picture (in TRAINS ?) of the 3608 undergoing "rebuild" at the CV's St. Albans shop. Evidently, this project was a trial balloon that was never repeated. Yes, two of the GVT RS-11's are ex-CV. > I know I'm going to be corrected if I'm > wrong, but I *think* all the CV RS11's > retained their tall short hoods until > retirement, and the nose chop was done by > the LVRC, NH&V, or some subsequent > owner.

The 3608 came with the last group of RS11s to arrive on the CV from the DW&P. The nose was already chopped when we got it. The rebuild work had been done at the East Virginia shops of DW&P. The control stand had also been changed to run in the short hood forward position. And like all the others, it came with one of those awful Incinolet toilets. ryarger@rypn.org |
