The final locomotive built for the New Haven Railroad, the 2525 ran in regular service on the New Haven until the merger with Penn Central, and was renumbered to 2685, and eventually became Conrail 2685. The locomotive was retired from Conrail in 1982 and was donated by Conrail to the Railroad Museum of New England and moved to the Valley Railroad in 1986. The locomotive was restored as #2525 and returned to service in 1986. The 2525 was moved to RMNE’s Naugatuck Railroad in 1998. It previously ran in excursion service.
