Pennsy never had E33's (only the similar E44's, which had a higher nose before the cab) - they went from Virginian, to New Haven, then to the Penn Central, after PRR was merged. Conrail had them and painted them like this one.

Even though I'm not a stickler for realism, I did figure that out in reading about the E33's ... and to be honest, it may play a factor anyways. The ultimate goal is to run some CSX, because that's what we see a ton of around here (Florence, SC has a CSX Division Office), so the progression from Pennsy to Penn Central to Conrail to CSX would work on the layout (with Amtrak thrown in for good measure). I suspect I couldn't go wrong either way, but the detailing on the Conrail appears to be nicer (the voltage warnings and sand fill placards). Pennsy definitely has the better logo, which I believe Conrail may hold the rights to (at least they sell merch from all the railroads that I believe were incorporated under the Conrail umbrella). Still on the fence, but good comments everyone ... even if @Apples55 called me a hobgoblin
