[quote user="LD357"]  I model most of the  eastern railroads, but I have a soft spot for B&O\Chessie and Conrail. I remember when i would hear the horn of a freight or coal train, I'd drop everything and run to watch it,  the yellow\red\black Chessie's looked so imposing when they rumbled by,   the Conrail locos were impressive too, but not like the big yellow beasts. I always liked the plain blue and yellow of the later B&O units, not as flashy as some railroads, but i liked them anyway.  Those 3 are the ones I remember most,  I'm sure some PRR and N&W was mixed in to, but my favs have to be the B&O\Chessie\Conrail era.[/quote]I hear you. I lived in SE PA till I was nine. All I saw was Conrail and occasionally Chessie if I got over to Gettysburg. I model 1978 rather than the late 80's which was when I was old enough to remember what I saw.  p.s. although I can remember back far enough to have seen a PC black GP35 on the local that ran through town. Although it broke down trying to leave.
