As I recall, Conrail had U28Bs, and their only U30Bs were early ones (late U28B carbody).Athearn made a monsticity of a shell which tuned to look like several u-boats. From what I've matched though conrail prototypes, the U30b seems like the better choice, I chopped the nose light which wasn't on a 28. So the other choice with the venting in the back would be the U30
This is the U30B:

U28B:

As for the U28B, the rear is close but it's still missing some smaller vents in front of the larger vents in the back
Only U-boat with the nose light as far as I check was the U36, and the venting is too different
U36B: (nose note)
