The October 31, 1976 Warminster to Philadelphia RDG division timetable showed the familiar "CONRAIL" with wheels on rails logo alongside.
A heavily revised October 26, 1980 version of the table shows the CONRAIL logo removed, and "Operated by Conrail under contract with Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority" added at the bottom. The pink Warminster-line colors were made darker, and Septa's stylized version of commuter power seen on ex-PC line October 29, 1978 timetables was added.
The cartoon appears to represent a combination of an MU and a cab unit which seemed to fit on the Reading Division that operated Silverliners and FP7's. Septa also included this cartoon on ex-PC Philadelphia commuter line timetables that only operated MU's, making the representation fictional.
