@mlaughlinnyc posted:One reason for that was that the Conrail operating department was trying to eliminate electric operation as fast as they could, limited only by the capital funds available to complete dieselization. They weren't going to waste a lot money on painting electrics.
Only one GG1 was painted in the complete Conrail blue scheme, the original #4800, Old Rivets. Others received small CR initials and had the PC two-worms-in-love logo painted out. A few retained their DGLE paint and the single gold stripe while having all previous railroad names painted out (4883, for example). The ones owned by NJ Transit got stenciled "N.J. Dept. Of Trans. Owner" under one number on each flank (to the right when viewed from the side). Amtrak units either got the stylized Amtrak name in white, or some got painted in a clownish red, white and platinum mist scheme with a blue wide stripe that mimicked the PRR wide stripe.
