CR 5078 Alco C425

Prior to their being sold for scrap or to shortlines, all the remaining CR Alco C425's were renumbered into the 5060 to 5088 series, why I don't know as nothing else went into the 2400 series. Virtually all of these 4 motor Alcos were in storage at the time of their renumbering as shown here by 3 of them in the Collinwood deadline at Cleveland March 9th, 1980. For the number crunchers 5078 is ex PRR 2444, 5077 is ex 2443, and 5073 is ex 2439.
