EMD GP38-2

The LV bought 12 EMD GP-38-2 locomotives new from EMD in late 1972.

They were all delivered in the last LV scheme, Cornell Red with "billboard" yellow lettering.

They wore no other scheme during their career with the LV.

Their time with the LV was short, less than 4 years.

All but 2 are still operating today, 30 years after they were built!

and 27 years after they left LV rails.

After the LV was absorbed into Conrail on 4/1/76, the 12 GP38-2's,

along with the C-420's, were sold to the D&H. The D&H added a

"7" to the LV numbers. many remained in LV red for many years,

2 were in LV red well into the 1990's!

Upon the D&H being incorporated into the Canadian Pacific, the locomotives

yet again had a new owner. Today all but 2 (which were wrecked/scrapped)

operate on the CP.

Some of the following history information is from Joshua Blay's excellent page

on the LV GP-38-2's..which traces their history with the LV, D&H, Guilford, and CP..

They all operated on the LV until Conrail on 4/1/76.

At that time they were all sold to the Delaware and Hudson Railroad,

They then all operated with the D&H until 1987, when they were

sold by D&H to "Delaware-Maryland-Virginia Co." in March, 1987.

None now operate on the D&H.

After they left the D&H, the locomotives no longer operated as a group

LV 507, last known as Texas Utilities 23012, (yes, that is correct, 23012, a 5-digit number) left Texas for Kansas City and was

scrapped there in May of 2012. The fate of her two Texas sisters, LV 505 and 506, still remains unknown. They are no longer

with Texas Utilities, but where they went, and their fate, remains a mystery. It is likely they are also scrapped, but never give up hope!

507 magically appeared in 2012, even though her appearance was brief and she didnt survive long..her sisters 505 and 506 could

still be out there somewhere.

see photo link at right. (2008)

Status change, January 2011. LV 508 has been sold again, this time to Larry's Truck & Electric.

She was seen lettered as LTEX 2784. LTEX could be a bad sign..a unit like 508 could be parts fodder,

(old U-boats arent exactly in high demand) then scrapped! although Larry does also re-sell, re-power

and lease a lot of units as well..so hopefully this is just another stage in 508's nomadic wanderings..

We will have to keep an eye on her. (2011)

UPDATE March 2011 - A happy ending to the LTEX story!

LV 508 was refurbished by Larry, repainted into "Ohio State colors", and sold to Shelly Materials.
