== History ==
In the 1950s, the Pennsylvania Railroad began to purchase EMD GP9 4 axle diesel locomotives. At the same time, other railroads were purchasing GP9s as well. The Pennsylvania Railroad operated their GP9s in a long hood forward style. This was different because other railroads were operating them in a cab forward design. For years the Pennsylvania Railroad GP9s ran in dark brunswick green. In the mid to late 1960s, the Pennsylvania Railroad began to paint out the "Pennsylvania" on their locomotives and were just adorning keystones with the letters "PRR" intertwined. In 1968, when the Pennsylvania Railroad merged with the New York Central Railroad to form the Penn Central, the 7048 was repainted into Penn Central livery (black with "PC" worms and "Penn Central"). For the whole 8 years of Penn Central, GP9 #7048 was used as a freight train diesel. In 1976, the government created freight railroad, the Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail) assumed operations from the bankrupt Penn Central. (Penn Central had filed for bankruptcy in 1970.) In the Conrail years the diesel was painted in two schemes before retirement. One was Penn Central black with a white "CR" indicating Conrail and not Penn Central. The 7048 was also painted in Conrail's blue and white scheme with the white wheel on white rail logo.
