Still in glorious blue, this pair of ex Conrail switchers (featuring GP15-1 1413 on point with the 2222) drills cars in the NS Spring Street Yard in Reading, PA on a nice afternoon - I had no idea that very soon after this was taken, the geep was going to be retired. Note the contrast of the dirt/grime on the unit mixing with the rich color still present:

Neato pic. You can still find this very combo in UP's ex-MP/CE&I Chicago Heights yard (ford plant), but the MP15's have blomberg trucks. One of my favorite shows to watch.
