1900 was the first B23-7 Conrail ordered and was delivered April 1978. 21 years after arriving on Conrail, 1900 is definately showing its age. I do not know when or why Conrail painted the rear step yellow. Location: Harrisburg, PA 6-99 Photo Revised: April 25, 2006 |

Tom photographed the rear of 1933 so you can see how the pilot was modified from a standard B23-7 so that the unit could mate with CR 21. Location: Waverly, NY 1995/96 Photo Revised: April 25, 2006 |

Back in 1983 the B23-7s still had their oval windows as seen on this unit. They would eventually have them plated over for safety. Location: Massena, NY 1983 Photo Revised: April 25, 2006 |

1980 arrived in 1979 and got a special slogan on its side, the only locomotive to carry it. Microscale makes the decals for "Keep it Moving...." in HO scale. Location: South Philadelphia, PA 9-8-85 Photo Revised: April 25, 2006 |

This is one of my favorite Conrail B23-7 photos. I would definately have trouble attending this church on Sundays and trying to pay attention to the pastor's sermon as a Conrail freight rolled by. Then again, it would be the best of both worlds. Location: Framingham, MA 12-5-98 Photo Revised: April 25, 2006 |

No, that is not rust on the roof and running boards. You are seeing dust and soot, a common sight on these units as well as Conrail geeps. The washers had trouble getting the filth off the roof, but if you look closely you will see the brush marks. Location: Unknown Photo Online: March 17, 2000 |

CR 2800 was the first unit delivered to Conrail in their initial order of B23-7's in 1977. It's still in its factory-applied paint eleven years later, but still looks sharp. Of course, by the late 1990s time, weather, and poor maintenance would take its toll. Location: Bethlehem, PA 12-3-88 Photo Online: August 76, 1998 |

I always thought blue Conrail units looked good in the snow, as seen here with 2809 the day after Christmas in 1995. Location: Buffalo, NY (Frontier Yard) 12-26-95 Photo Revised: April 25, 2006 |
