The SD40-2 in Conrail blue(Cyan and black and white, very simple paint job). These EMD products were so ubiquitous in the 80's, and all but gone in 2001. It was so cool watching 2 of these racehorses mu'd with 2 ex-EL SD45's hauling the SE-PW out of pittsfield on a sunday morning with mixed freight, auto racks and intermodel. I was lucky to have taken still pictures and video in the early eighties as the longest of the Boston line freights made a fast entry into Worcester beside the location of the Worst Fire in Worcester history where many firefighters died. <br /> <br />By the late 80's these SDs moved West replaced by the very unique C-30-7As. In a strange way I sort of liked thses units as well. <br /> <br />During the last days of Conrail the SD80 MACS were in control of the Boston Line and became my 2nd favorite 2nd generation power. A railfain friend observed a lone SD 80 MAC haul over 80 cars Westbound through the Berkshire Mountains.
