context_page_description: Pennsylvania Railroad 7048 is a preserved GP9 Diesel-electric locomotive once owned by the former Pennsylvania Railroad. The locomotive was constructed by Electro-Motive Division of General Motors in December 1955. 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 June 8, 1957 until September 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.
