Conrail ordered 100 GP15-1s in 1979. Intended for secondary and branch line trains, they featured snowplows on both ends for bidirectional use. Signal boxes were also standard equipment, allowing the GP15s to be used for road service when required. Most survived till the end of Conrail in 1998. They then joined the NS and CSX locomotive fleets with many retaining their Conrail blue and white paint with NS or CSX patches.
