Former Southern Pacific #6378, L&NW #46
Title:  Former Southern Pacific #6378, L&NW #46
Description:  The Niles Canyon Railroad Museum collection has this locomotive as well as the former Southern Pacific F7A #6380, coupled to the rear of the unit shown. The 6378 and 6380 were part of a group traded to General Electric for new units in the late 1960's. Luckily GE did not scrap these units as was the fate of 1000's of others. GE resold a group of these units, including the 6478 and 6480, to the Salzberg Family who owned a number or shortline railroads. The units were originally sent to the Wellsville, Addison and Galeton Railroad (WAG) in Upstate New York where they became WAG 2100 and WAG 2000, respectively. In August 1969, the units were transferred to the Louisiana and North West Railroad (L&NW) and were renumbered 46 and 45, respectively.
