Conrail colors

Posted by memsd on Saturday, April 17, 2004 10:02 AM

Was it all a dream, or did Conrail use to have blue rolling stock back in the 80s? And if so, why is it so hard to find HO cars in that color? Don't mind me....just ranting....

I swear I saw a blue Conrail boxcar recently, but it was probably a GTW. But still, it may have been Conrail..............
