I was curious what road numbers from the range provided might be prototypical for the Conrail Quality SD40-2 engines. A little research located these pictures of potential numbers on the Conrail Photo Archive.
Conrail 6442 10/15/98 Hagerstown, MD
Conrail 6449 02/18/96 Altoona, PA (On flatcar after wreck)
Conrail 6451 4-21-94 Altoona, PA (Nose only)
Conrail 6451 02/14/98 Bear, DE
Conrail 6457 06/15/96 Gallitzin, PA (Rear "Conrail Quality")
Conrail 6457 02/14/98 Wilmington DE (Nose "Conrail Quality")
Conrail 6476 12/31/95 Edgemoor, DE (Only CONRAIL on nose)

There are probably other numbers that can be used, only included two even and three odd numbered engines.

Man I miss hearing those 645s coming up Cresson mountain through the Jewel of the Mainline at my grandmother’s house.

The fun starts around the 1:54 mark… thumb
