ABOVE: Early in the Conrail days, you could find a wide variety of colors and typefaces adorning their rolling stock. Conrail 160150 is a perfect example. It was built in November 1947 for the New York Central and was designated as class 968B by Conrail. The roadname looks standard, but those narrow reporting marks look a bit improvised. It was painted in May 1976 with what looks like was left in the cans by Penn Central. —Kodachrome by Jim Aldridge, collection of David Baer.
