The locomotive was constructed by Electro-Motive Division of General Motors in 1955.[1] It sits on static display at Horseshoe Curve near Altoona Pennsylvania. It occupies the same spot as Pennsylvania Railroad 1361, a steam locomotive that was displayed from 1957 until 1985 when that locomotive was removed for restoration to operation. Conrail, the railroad that operated the railroad around Horseshoe Curve at that time, donated this locomotive to replace the previous locomotive. As part of the donation, the company repainted the unit in its original Pennsylvania Railroad livery. History of 7048 liveryIn the 1950s, the Pennsylvania Railroad GP9s ran in a dark Brunswick green livery. In the mid- to late 1960s, they began to remove the "Pennsylvania" on their locomotives and replaced the word with the letters "PRR" intertwined. In 1968, the Pennsylvania Railroad merged with the New York Central Railroad to form the Penn Central, locomotive 7048 was repainted into Penn Central's black livery with the new company's logo. In 1976, the Consolidated Rail Corporation assumed operations from the bankrupt Penn Central. Conrail replaced the Penn Central's "PC" markings with "CR" Later, Conrail applied their blue and white livery and new corporate logo featuring a stylized wheel-on-rail logo.
