Conrail GP15-1 build... JUST DO IT.

It is hard to distinguish between black and rust in many cases, making it very difficult to distinguish between "phases" of CR's paint scheme. As far as I can tell, there are no fewer than 9 variations of CR's paint scheme, NOT including special schemes. CR painted, EMD painted, GE painted, CR white stripe, GE white stripe, CR Quality, CR Quality Reverse, EMD CR Quality, GE CR Quality. It is very hard to see when the black walkways and nose top appeared, so I use the white frame stripe and numberboards as my reference point. If you guys want I can clarify my phases better in a future post, as far as I know, there is no official CR phase list like there is for CSX, BNSF, etc.

I think the anti-glare thing is an afterthought anyway. For example, look at these C40-8s

its all blue when its new, and it fades dark.

Was CR 1654 the only GP15-1 with a large can opener??

looks like it, I haven't noticed any smaller ones.
