Nice pics Cpage! I gotta get my butt up to Port Jervis. It's my backyard and I used to be a rail dispatcher for NJT dispatching that line. I love the line between Port Jervis and Suffern.
Anyway I haven't been trackside lately until today....but it was worth it. Conrail was split up between CSX and NS back in 1999. You'd have thought by now that all the Conrail locomotives would have been through their heavy maintenance cycles, which includes repainting. But this Sunday morning (3/22) I was at Iona Island, NY and found the Q-433 general merchandise train being led by 3 units. The lead unit, CSX #7334, was not only still in full Conrail dress blue but also had its red markers on, though they don't show as obviously in the photo.
