Did Conrail replace the control stand as well?

Come on out during the warmer months when we're open! We'll be running diesel trains a lot more often this year, and with some major work having been completed on 211, it should also be running much more frequently.

@cparl Yes, I currently model modern CSX/Conrail in HO.

[cparl]

Yes, that's an EMD 12-567B. I'm not sure exactly what year the block is from offhand, but I believe it would have been somewhere between 1945 and 1954.
