Thanks to a wake up text from Nick Amy I managed to wake up just in time to catch the Conrail unit again as it went by. Here are a few of the better shots. The rest are on my flickr.

Very Nice! Looks like you had perfect light this afternoon. It had started to cloud up by the time they got down this way..
Thanks Mr. Bell.
Can you get us a new heritage unit now? Pulls some strings or something? Personal preference I'd like to see the N&W, the original NS again, or the Interstate.
The N&W needs a daylight run on the CNO&TP.
Blue sides and dingy gray on top (the nose anyway) -#8098 really is Conrail heritage! lol
