I was in Roanoke on Sunday (the day AFTER the big move of course) and there were 2 Dash 8s (I think) outside the shops being worked on. One (the 8500) was definitely of Conrail heritage. They both had new cabs almost looking like they had the square lines of an SD40 Admiral cab. Both cabs were in primer with their numbers stenciled on in black. The center hoods of both units were off exposing their prime movers. Is this a new rebuild program maybe? No I didn't have a camera and didn't even consider my phone (DUH!).
