Dead U Boat Portrait - a photo on Flickriver

            Former Conrail 2778, originally built for the Lehigh Valley in December 1974 as their 503, sits dead on the westbound storage track at PA on CSXT's Capitol Subdivision on January 3, 2023. The unit suffered a cracked engine block after a power failure over Xmas Eve when the temperatures reached down into the single digits at the Vulcan plant here. The locomotive lacks the ability to "dump it's water' when the temps reach below freezing. That issue caused the block to freeze up and then crack in multiple places. It's fate has not been decided at the time of this photograph but it likely will be scrapped.
