CR Have the Conrail fans disappeared with the blue paint?

Former Erie Lackawanna #3681 SD45-2. The last new EL unit. Seen here on Conrail's Chicago Line at Milepost 338. June 25, 1998. 8:40 AM. Westbound.

 

That's a great train! An SD60 and an SD45-2!!

Don,
Super pics! I have never shot E8's!

Thanks Harold. It was the only time I saw the CR E's. It was all by chance, the train showed up as I was shooting some Geeps parked in a siding at Goshen IN. A disappointment that CR #4022 was NOT in the train...the ex EL E8.

 

I caught a couple of ex-CR SDP45's.... they had VMV decals attached.....

 

You must show! MUST SHOW!

 

Gotta see if the scanner will cooperate... it has been uncooperative lately

 

I know all about that.

 

My all time favorite place for rail photography...the Hudson Valley. Of course, I haven't been out west where the real scenery is.

Conrail will never die.....

 

amen to that:thumbs_up:

 

Worked as a Conrail Scale Inspector from 4/01/76 to 5/31/99. Always a ConRail Fan, Alway will be!

 

just bought two bachmann spectrum HO Conrail SD-45s
my dad used mto take pics of conrail when i was little

 

Conrail will always live on, even if it's in 1/87 scale! I used to see quite a few CR units ( the ones that CSX got) in the consists that ran through here in Highland, MI on CSX's Saginaw line, but don't see too many anymore.

 

<=== is a CR fan through and through.

 

Here's a few Conrail Shots. To bad I started taking picture after the merger.
