These units remained in service until the very end of Conrail. More information will be forthcoming about these locomotives. I like the LV sprayed on the nose on former LV 310. Looks like the old LV colors of 7656 above have long been painted over with Conrail blue when Arnie shot it in 1990.

A few days prior to the above photo of 310, LV 312 sits at the sanding towers in Oak Island. LV 312 eventually became CR 7658. Robert S. Waller . All rights reserved. Photos for personal use only.
