I'm not sure if this is where to post this but I was wondering if anyone can provide me with some info about the ALCO RSD-12's that Conrail had at start up? I'm looking to model one and want to do it right. Where did Conrail use them, when were they retired?? did any of them get blue paint? Are there any photos of them on line?
Conrail had 24 RSD12's, 6855-6879
all originally PRR then PC.
Same road numbers from PRR to PC to CR.

Dont know if any received CR blue, but it seems very unlikely.
