Tom,
Love the collection! I used to be a serious Conrail guy but have since gone free lanced. Did you know that CR had a GP15-1 painted for Nike? With a swoosh and everything. But I can't find a good enough photo to use to model it. I saw a photo of it one time on the front of a Conrail employee magazine.
Here she is...

These two units swapped doors some time back, but the reason is beyond me. They must have both been receiving heavy repairs, in the same shop, at the same time, for something like this to happen.

I wonder what circumstances could have led to that? Unfortunately, I was driving in a location where I couldn't stop to get a photo.
