Bernie Feltman General Nice catch of the Conrail "Heritage" unit ! 6/9/2012 8:02:26 AM
William H. Davis Jr. General Thanks Bernie 6/9/2012 8:20:14 AM
Tom Beckett General Good action shot. All they had to do was touch up the paint on this unit, would have saved them all that money on the GE!! Trivia: the SD50's were not "Conrail Quality" as originally painted. They predated that program by about 10 years. 6/9/2012 9:10:49 AM
William H. Davis Jr. General Thanks Tom, I'm glad it wasn't in its original Conrail scheme, I like the Conrail Quality scheme better, the original Conrail scheme was a little more basic, but still looked good 6/9/2012 9:26:19 AM
Atlanta Rails General Nice shot. 6/9/2012 2:08:28 PM
William H. Davis Jr. General Thanks Nikos, door was open though, so I want another shot maybe later with the door closed, not as bad when doors are open on conventional cabs I know, but still not 100% satisfied 6/9/2012 2:16:17 PM
