I usually post in the NS forum, but someone requested that I also post some Conrail here.

Here's a SD60I leading NS train 229 south on the NS Kentucky Division in the early fall of 2000. (I made a typo and originally called this a SD60M...oops!).

Nice shot Jeff

Now I'm gonna get a little technical here. http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif That is a NS locomotive still in Conrail paint (but who cares?). Second, that is an SD60I, not and SD60M. Notice the crease just behind the front of the nose on the right, between the class light and cab number. This means this unit is equipped with the Isolated Cab, which is basically an "M" cab which is isolated from the rest of the locomotive. Some people call it the "whisper cab" cause it is quieter.

Since I live one mile from the NS line in northern KY, it's the best I can do. Conrail lines terminated in Cincinnati and the company was "gone" by the time I started railfanning. I was hoping the blue was good enough to keep the memories going!

That was simply a stupid typo on my part. http://www.trainboard.com/eek.gif Thanks for the catch!

I could always post the full size image, but it'd probably bring the 'Board down... I think it is about 500k :eek:
