Seems more like a special locomotive painted differently to differentiate it from the rest of the fleet. Progress Rail advertising???

I like it. Anything is better than NS boring black.
NS was an early holdout on AC traction.
They're certainly making up for lost time.
If they still owned 1218, she would probably be in line for an AC conversion. 
I like it as well, our ninth edition will have some interviews (and maybe even a shop visit) about Progress Rail in Muncie, IN. Progress Rail does amazing rebuild and factory-fresh work, that’s for certain!
1. Looks like the ATSF Yellowbonnets.
2. Yellowsaw will be hard to keep clean.
NS, like the Raiders, look nest in BLACK!
I hope they make one in HO O or even G because i want one
So the big question is how many paint scheme for NS do we have now in this past decade?

there is a nice thread on these going on facebook. only 1800 and 1801 will get the bonnet. I think the standard thoroughbred will look sweet with the isolated style EMD cab.
What manufacturer will be the first to announce the yellow bonnet in O gauge?

Lionel, they just did NS #8520 which is just a C44-9W repaint:

...meaning, nobody will be doing a true model of this since no tooling exists for a modified SD70. There will be "fake" versions based on other toolings. Maybe a SD70ACE, SD70M-2, or SD60E will end up getting this paint scheme.
Hey, no fair on making complaints about NS black, though I do like these recent paint schemes.
I like it.
After thinking about it. It will be MTH.
