- W599650255 abstract "This article relates the story of a single fleet of customized engines that bounced from one railroad to another as a group for nearly 25 years. The 12 rectifier electric freight locomotives did that, changing railroads, paint schemes, names and cargo, which ranged from coal to piggyback trailers on routes in the Appalachians and some of the largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. Details the locomotives' different stops, complete with photos. They worked as part of the electrification conversion of the Virginian Railway which used them to haul coal from the Pocahontas and New River coal fields starting in the late 1950s. They next worked for the New Haven Railroad in the early 1960s, joining a pioneer in electrification, which put its main line under live wires in 1914. They hauled general freight between New York and New England, especially refrigerator cars that brought perishables up north from the southeast and were floated across New York Harbor to bay Ridge. When the New Haven was merged into the Penn Central in 1969, they went to work on former Pennsylvania Railroad lines. Conrail abandoned electrified freight service after a study showed it would cost $2 billion to upgrade the track needed to make it feasible, bringing the locomotives' commercial operations to an end, and ending the chapter of class I mainline electric freight railroading in the U.S." @default.
