Conrail's "Owl Face" scheme

[Railfan1]

Does any locomotives exist in this scheme?

Do you mean the "white face" scheme applied to the AC units? Like this..

I haven't seen one in great while.  The AC units seemed to be among the first to be repainted.

Yeah, those. I hope there is at least one left and it heads this way.

Even if there are any left painted for CR, CSX and NS use them in specific areas and I don't believe they roam the systems too much.  These unique locomotives were an example of Conrail looking to the future and wrer often used on the hilly Boston Line.  They are pretty non-descript on NS and CSX.  Another reason the passing of Conrail is sad.

There is a couple of CSX SD80MAC's left in the Conrail ''White Face'' or ''White Nose'' paint scheme(chose your own nickname for this paint scheme). NS has a couple of SD80MAC also in that paint. NS's are usally near Altoona and don't get out much(I heard NS hates them because they are AC powered engines). CSX's are usally up north, haven't seen any here lately.

A few of CSX's and NS's SD80MACs still wear the old Conrail paint. All of the SD70MAC's have been repainted into CSX. CSX uses them around Cumberland and NS around Conway, and they rarely ever leave these areas (the SD80MACs, that it. CSX's 70MACs roam the system).

NS keeps theirs based out of Cresson for coal trains. CSX uses them for the same purpose and bases theirs at Benning yard in Washington D.C. The NS SD80s don't roam. CSXs does however move around on occasion. I saw one in the new scheme stored at Rice yard in Waycross, GA two weeks ago. As far as I know there are 11 left in the whiteface scheme.

NS 7200,7205,7208,7209-7211,7214,7215. CSX 805,807,811.

, well only 30 were ever made, and most are not used, but my grandma lives near South fork PA, and sometimes you can see the sd80s with some coal trains, SOMETIMES
