What Happened To U34ch 4176?

SP did not, at first, place the big FM's in commute service.  They were first sent to New Mexico.  For some reason, they did not work out there.  But they had steam generators, so they were sent to work in the SFO commute service.  (SP did not use the "r".)  Worked well.  No SP engine could touch them until the SDP45's, and even they had to have some sort of electrical mod.

Now CNJ did buy the same engine, and they were used in passenger service from the start.  But were they used in commuter service?

Now that engine in BW and TTG Harriman or bi-level coaches would make a great model!

Whenever I go to Boonton 3372 is just sitting in their yard. I wonder what they have planned for it. I remember watching Morristown & Erie drag it out of a siding. It was street running all the way to the M&E line.

645, I don't have any knowledge about the SDP45's in Peninsula service.  I was only familiar with them as road passenger locomotives on the Coast Daylight and the San Joaquin Daylight.  I never heard any complaints about them from Espee Engineers.  I rode behind them a couple of times, and it seemed that they were doing the job.
