Finally, a photo of a blue Conrail unit for the page! A former Penn Central NW-2M. Not sure what was modified on these units. Note the unusual placement of the 'Conrail' above the logo.

This unit did not escape the paint-out brush for long when this photo was snapped at the roundhouse. Still, the crews did a careful job not to disturb too much of the paint. It was very difficult for many paint-crews to "destroy" their own locos with CR stencils. LV crews seem to have been the best at using the least amount of paint to block out their logos!
