SW This roster attempts to discover how long a Conrail predecessor SW1001 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.

Roster Notes:

A. Engine spotted stored in CR stencils by latest date listed.
B. Engine spotted in deadline in CR stencils by latest date listed.
C. Engine spotted stored in original predecessor paint and numbers by latest date listed.
D. Engine spotted stored though fully repainted in Conrail colors. Still looking for date loco had been repainted while still in service. E. Engine most likely painted blue long before this date, but this is the earliest photo of it painted Conrail we could find. F. CR 9424 wore non-standard blue with road unit sized CONRAIL from 9/78 (at the earliest) until at least 1/13/85.
