Former LV 218. If you look at the top of the forward hood, you will notice that the crews forgot to paint-out the old "218." It's those little details I love spotting on paint-outs. See below for photos of 5203 as LV 218. Location: Bound Brook, NJ 10-3-77 Photo Online: November 24, 1998 |

The 'single-stripe' scheme was the one of the final schemes the LV applied to its fleet of sitchers and road switchers, such as 214 here in this photo, which was taken several months after the Conrail merger. Location: Elizabethport, NJ 11-14-76 Photo Online:July 29, 2001 |

Prior to the single-stripe scheme above, 214 had worn the classic 'three-stripe' scheme, as seen here in this historical photos from 1964 as the 214 hauls a train past a collapsing building. Location: Cazenovia, NY 10-20-64 Photo Online:July 29, 2001 |

Unfortunately, only four of the LV RS-2's survived onto Conrail, LV 213-214 and LV 217-218. I do have photos of 216, which wore the big yellow yellow stripe down the middle. LV 218 was originally C&O 5501. The C&O it and its sister unit, C&O 5500, to the Lehigh Valley in 1950 after only a year of service on that road.

A few years prior to the photo above taken during Conrail, the 218 wore the classic three-stripe scheme on the LV. Notice how the C&O logo shows through the poor LV paint job. Location: Sayre, PA 5-15-71 Photo Online:July 29, 2001 |
