I think the blue/white color scheme looks awful on model locos. They use blue plastic for the bodies, and white paint. Looks like a cheapo toy. B-O-R-I-N-G!

I am with you 100%.

The best models of Conrail I ever saw where the of the custom-built variety.

[cr6479]

I love those SD engines.

[cr6479]

I wished that conrail would gotten the SD90MACK or Evoltion engines. If NS & CSX didn't takeover conrail.

[cr6479]

What if conrail had the SD90 or evoltion engines that would be very very interesting.

[Murphy Siding]

Did you see much variation of CR locomotives in your area?

[cr6479]

Muphy Siding. Yes i do there is alot of EX-CONRAIL engines to count in Rochester New York.

[nanaimo73]

Rochester ?
Is CSX still using both lines through there, or is the line through the City just for passenger trains ?
Do the two lines have names, and what are the junctions to the east and west called ?

Well, as far as the SD90, the SD80MAC's look the same, except some minor differences.

I am not sure but did Conrail use the Penn Central's black with the white "PC" scheme for a little while.(using a CR instead of a PC of course)

[cr6479]

CSX-DAN. Time to time you will see conrail engines with csx trains on Pixley Road in Gates. I seen GP20-evoltion engines and don't forget UP,CN,SF,BN,BNSFor NS engines go though Pixley Road. Hey CSX-DAN do you live on or near the Buffalo to Syracuse chicago main line???? O yea welcome to trains form!!!!

[cr6479]

chinatown78241. That would be a BIG YES!!!!

[Anonymous]

Was it just a temporary thing to convert ownership or did they paint them like that?

[cr6479]

Yes it was temporary until they get the blue paint and the ownership.

[Anonymous]

Ahhhh.... got'cha.

[cr6479]

Did conrail ever have GP20-SD20 engines????

[Anonymous]

No, they did not have any of either I don't think.

[Anonymous]

By the way here is a pretty good roster I found on Conrail. It also shows which numbers NS and CSX recieved. Check it out.
