This roster attempts to discover how long a Conrail predecessor ALCo C-425 locomotive ran in its original paint scheme and when Conrail painted it blue for the first time. All dates listed are the earliest and latest the unit was seen in that paint scheme. The dates might change often as new photos are examined. If I know for certain that a date is the absolute earliest or latest a locomotive appeared in that paint scheme, I mention this in the notes. This is a constant work in progress aimed at helping those who model the 1976 through early-1980's transition era get consists looking reasonably accurate ratios for blue, stenciled, and original paint schemes.
