Awesome catch! 5+ stars! You said ex. Conrail for some engines in your post. One may think this is a silly question but is that mean they do not exist anymore? I once saw on KZbin 3 blue Conrail engines hardly towing 130 dump cars full of coal. It looked as if they were pulling a mountain.

Cool

[@boxcarfrank]

No kidding!

[@boxcarfrank]

Nope Conrail doesn't exist. NS and CSX possess their assets. A lot of the Conrail units were repainted into NS and CSX schemes.
