Conrail SD35 6043 began life as Jersey Central 2504 in 1965. For the first seven years of its life, it regularly plied the rails between Jersey City, new Jersey, and Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. That ended in 1972, when the CNJ withdrew from Pennsylvania, confining its locomotive fleet to New Jersey. Four years later, the SD35 became part of Conrail’s roster, and travelled the system as part of the locomotive pool. Nine years after its exile, Conrail 6043 returns to familiar places as it rolls through Catasauqua, Pennsylvania on the point of a westbound freight.
