That's the one, Though the description says it is based on how it looked from 1981-1985, does this mean that during 1980 it was still in its CR patched NYC/PC paint? That would be neat because the gp20 also comes in NYC paint, and it would be neat to patch it for CR.

Some of my books show GP20s in blue earlier than that, but a PC Black one is plausible. probably not so much NYC patches.

I have spotted U25B #2553 with partial New York Central paint (NYC handrails, and parital Cigar band on sill, Penn Central logo and lettering on the flanks, CR patches on the ends). U30B 2872 has a similar paint job. A deteriorating NYC cigar band on the side sill, and just PC logos on the nose/rear. No lettering on the flanks. I've also seen some remains of NYC paint on some E8As assigned to commuter service, but these are all pre-1980. Conrail's Oldest locomotives, the electric S2Es, often had NYC paint for a short time, but they worked around Grand Central Terminal. It would be very unusual for NYC paint to be around during Conrail.
