CR 6669

It's three years into Conrail and CR 6669 (former EL 3638) is looking pretty worn down, but she's still in the lead even on this ex-EL trackage in Akron. Not far in the future, she will get a fresh coat of Conrail blue. Also, notice how the shop crew used red to paint out the original EL logo and numbers, and the pattern it has created around the cab number decals.

EL 3654

Kevin recalls, it's shortly after "C" day and this EL SDP45/SD45 combo is eastbound on the NYC main at Depew, NY, just east of Buffalo's Frontier yard. Note the trademark NYC cantilever signal in the distance, and the IC boxcar to the right with its "Mainline of Mid America" slogan in script. EL 3654 is one of the few 6-motors to receive the experimental plow stripes.
