EMD GP38-2  The LV bought 12 EMD GP-38-2 locomotives new from EMD in late 1972.  They were all delivered in the last LV scheme, Cornell Red with "billboard" yellow lettering.  They wore no other scheme during their career with the LV.  Their time with the LV was short, less than 4 years.  All but 2 are still operating today, 30 years after they were built!  and 27 years after they left LV rails.  After the LV was absorbed into Conrail on 4/1/76, the 12 GP38-2's,  along with the C-420's, were sold to the D&H.  The D&H added a  "7" to the LV numbers. many remained in LV red for many years,  2 were in LV red well into the 1990's!  Upon the D&H being incorporated into the Canadian Pacific, the locomotives  yet again had a new owner.  Today all but 2 (which were wrecked/scrapped)  operate on the CP.  Some of the following history information is from Joshua Blay's excellent page  on the LV  GP-38-2's..which traces their        history with the LV, D&H, Guilford, and CP..  the page can be found here: http://www.joshuakblay.com/gp382.html    service history for the GP-38-2's..as a group.   years  1972 - 1976     -  LVRR 314-325  1976 - 1984?   -  D&H  7314-7325  1984? - 1988?  -   Guilford 220 - 232  19?? - 19??      -   Back to D&H numbers, 7303- 7312  (not numbered in same                                sequence as before)  199? - present  -  Canadian Pacific 7303 - 7312.

 LV 510    CR 2786      40107      react 11/92, retire 3/8/93, Wimpey 2786
 LV 511    CR 2787      40108
 LV 512    CR 2788      40109      reactivated 11/92, retired 3/8/93
 

It was rumoured that 2 R&N units were sold to since defunct Quincy Bay Terminal RR,
which is now Fore River Transportation.
and are now possibly stored in New England somewhere. (possibly LV 501 and 505?)
unfortunately this was found not to be the case..
I have determined that Quincy Bay Terminal only owned one U23B, #21, and she was not a former LV U-boat.

GP9
EMD GP9
300 - (CR 7476) - scrapped Elizabethport 1985

301 (CR7477) Rebuilt 8/77 Altoona..assigned to Avon (Indianapolis) IN

RS11

Alco RS11 400, 401, 402, 403 - became Conrail 7609, 7610, 7611, 7612.- all scrapped
 
 

Alco RS11 8640-8648 (6 units) to Conrail 7640-7648
These 6 units were leased from the PRR in 1964, and were numbered in the 8,000 series from '64 - '67.
in 1967 they were renumbered to the 7,000 series to match the new Penn Central numbering scheme.
and thus, these units were the only LV engines not needing re-numbering by Contrail!

7644 - scrapped
the remaining 5 were converted to MT4 slugs in 1978-79. All former LV slugs retired in 1995.
7640 - slug 1023

" This unit was involved in a horrible head-on wreck with a gas-electric car on the Rochester Branch in the 1940s. Was rebuilt by the LVRR, however. Retired by CR 11 April 1985. At Igloo Cellar Site (former U.S. Army Black Hills Ordnance Depot) near Edgemont, SD July, 1987. Numbered CMC (Consolidated Management Corp.) 8657 and painted a light tan. I drove over to the depot on lay-off from BN in Gillette, WY, hoping to photograph the 8657. Alas, the manager refused permission so I drove back home in disgust. Never got back over there to photograph the unit, however. Oh well." - Paul J. Templeton

More Alco switcher information, from "Pontiac 59"
there's a few more on the Buffalo Southern - they have a string of former South Buffalo Alco S-types stored and one operable, believe at least one is a former LV unit (SB had 151, 159, 164, 165 r/n as 107-106-105-104).  The other potential survivors include: one of the 5 that went to the B&O (150)  went to Silcott and then to Southeast Coal, Irving KY (as #500), in 1974 (unknown past that point) and another (153) went to Youngstown Sheet & Tube in 1979 after serving as B&O 9146.  Another one (158 ) went to Lone Star Steel #12 (Lone Star, TX) after T-I to Alco in 1965.   S1 #117 last reported as Vulcan Materials #5789 (Geismar LA) 1978.  Steelton & Highspire 66 was LV S4 166 (167 to S&H 67, then to a slug). From X2200S #76 for July-Aug-Sept 1982.   Lehigh Valley disposed of all 539-engine power in the early to mid '60's; anything I didn't list either is listed as cut up or traded in with no further disposition.

The WNY Railway Historical Society's Alco S2, former South Buffalo #77, is not a former LV unit. -Scot
 
 

update - February 2, 2004.
I recieved a note from Patrick Connors. of the Buffalo Southern RR . concerning BSOR 104 & 106

"There has been much question as to the whereabouts of 104 and 106. 106 was indeed purchased by the BSOR when South Buffalo auctioned off their fleet of Alcos. It was dismantled at the steel plant. I say it this way because it was not completly cut up. The trucks and wheels were taken from underneath for spares on the other BSOR S2s and 4s. The block was removed for possible use in 107. While it was sitting on blocks with parts removed, it tipped over on its side....thus sealing it's fate. The remains were cut up...some parts taken to BSOR shops, while most of the frame and heavy metal scrap. The front nose and cab section are still together, though may get scrapped soon.

The 104, I am not sure of. There is an effort in the works to write a history of the South Buffalo with a complete roster. As the details are worked out, more light may be shed on this locomotive. It is possible that this unit ended up with Winter's Railroad Services S2's that are stored at North Collins, NY and may also have been cut up."
- Patrick Connors.

(note..LV 164 / SB 104 has been found!  at Citisteel in Claymont, DE, )
 

LVRR Baldwins
The LV retired, scrapped or traded in all her baldwin locomotives before Conrail.
the odds of any surviving today are very slim, so I didnt include them among the potential survivors,
although there is no disposition info for 6 LV Baldwins! so its (very remotely) possible a LV baldwin still lurks somewhere out in the wide world.

Survivor Totals..as of March 27, 2007

58 known surviving LVRR locomotives..of those 58:

44 are operating with railroads (class 1, shortlines, or industrials.)
4 can be considered "preserved"..at RR museums or owned by Historical Societies. (211, 408, 414, and one of the U-boats)
3 are "missing" (the three Texas U-boats)

and 7 are non-operating, or stored, or derelict, or virtually abandoned..in need of preservation!
excellent preservation canidates:
