Conrail's C40-8W's were monstrous locomotives capable of putting out 4,000hp with excellent tractive effort, making them perfect for nearly every type of mainline service. Conrail placed several orders for the locomotives from 1990 to 1994. They also placed order for units in their Locomotive Management Services joint leasing company with General Electric. There are two rosters below. The first is for locomotives directly purchased by Conrail, while the second roster is for locomotives jointly purchased by Conrail and General Electric's joint leasing service, Locomotive Management Services (LMS).Conrail Roster
All units in the first order (CR 6050-6099) were delivered in the standard steel wheels Conrail scheme. CR 6084 suffered damage and was repainted in 1996 into the Quality scheme. Other locomotives might have been repainted after being rebuilt and I'll post this info people inform me. All the following C40-8W orders (CR 6100-6265) were delivered in the Quality scheme.

LMS Roster
Beginning in 1994 and continuing through early 1995, Conrail purchased a total of 60 C40-8W's for their joint leasing service with General Electric, Locomotive Management Services (LMS). The first units 700-739 arrived in 1994 and were painted in the Conrail blue with LMS initials scheme. The second order, 740-759, arrived painted in the standard Conrail Quality scheme. Then in the summer of 1997 Conrail began moving CR 740-759 from lease service into their regular fleet, renumbering the units into series CR 6266-6285.
