This reminds me... the other day I saw a BNSF loco somewhat like the pic below (forgive me, I'm not up on modern diesel identification), but the door just above the ditch light had been replaced with a blue Conrail door that had "ail" and "ity" on it. 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.

Did Conrail units get sold or go off lease when CSZ & NS took over? The only way I can see it happening is if the BNSF bought an ex-Conrail unit, and canabilized those doors before repainting it to BNSF colors.
