Greetings From Buffalo - a photo on Flickriver

            Conrail SD60M 5571 was sitting at CP Wye in Rockville waiting on permission into Enola yard in 1993.

Trailing the pair of blue EMDs was EMD SD60MAC 9503 undergoing evaluation of the new AC traction. Painted in a quasi-Burlington Northern paint scheme, the SD60MAC was a testbed that led to hoards of AC powered SD70MACs for BN and a few other roads, but only 15 for Conrail.

Conrail bought the only SD80MACs produced and placed additional orders for SD80MACs, however due to the pending takeover by Norfolk Southern and CSX the order was changed. CSX opted out of the SD80MAC order in favor of SD70MAC's built to CSX specifications.

The SD60MACs were returned to EMD and used for testing.
