Are there any conrail locos left on NS and CSX, im pretty sure their all gone but just asking. If not, is there any on a shortline in Ohio or, mainly, Michigan? I would love to see one, even though im pretty sure almost all are gone
Thanks,
Chris
At least one of the GP9s on Adrain & Blissfiled and the Jackson & Lansing was owned by Conrail at one point. All of Great Lakes Central's GP38-2s were built as Penn Central units that went to Conrail. Not entirely sure but some of Marquette's GP38s may have been CR units at some point, too. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.
We railfans called those locomotives EX Conrail because they are repainted into CSX or NS. Like I saw an EX conrail SD60I in Vickers. On the way down there we passed a conrail caboose in New Boston very rusty.
The Heartwell Railroad in Georgia is practically a rolling museum. They run an untouched C&NW GP9, an untouched EJ&E SD38 (non Dash 2 unit) and an untouched Conrail GP38 (again non Dash 2). They also have a Rio Grande GP35 that's untouched in the small "Flying Grande" paint and a Bessemer and Lake Erie SD7 that's untouched as well. They also have a pair of untouched Chessie System High Nose GP9's, although I think one might have the Chessie Cat patched out. Truly a place where the foam can drown most.
