"In 1974, the Reading Company began leasing 10 MP-15DC's (CR 9621-30) from EMD. Though the locos were reliable, Conrail returned them to EMD at the end of the lease."

I did read some discussions about the end of the MP15DC at CR but none of them concluded with facts. Most started with the start with the leasing at Reading and added the "usual" lease period to get the end date at CR.
