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

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 ?

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

I am with you 100%.

The best models of Conrail I ever saw where the of the custom-built variety.
You think this is bad? Just wait until inflation kicks in.....
