I think that these "commemorative" paint schemes are just wonderful. It shows just how much the Norfolk southern is concerned about it's public image as well as it's own corporate history.

Does this mean that there are now two locomotives in the system in the old Lackawanna paint job? Now, wouldn't that be a picture to get them both together on the head end of th e same train??? Just like the good old days!

Tom, Thanks for posting this.

The unit is NICE.

It looks like the horns have been moved from the original EL position.

Also, at least from that pic, I don't see any NS markings on the engine.

I saw this in Instagram. I really hope NS does an SD40-2 painted in Conrail.
