Norfolk Southern to release specially painted locomotive honoring veterans

Thank you NS for keeping things interesting for us railfans :slight_smile:

Thanks NS for remembering those who serve and protect our nation.

Thanks NS for remembering those who serve and are srving this grand nation of ours. Semper Fi

why is there no picture with this story,???

Lawrence, in the story it is reported the loco is under wraps to the extent possible until it is ready to be revealed.

Wow! Just like in the 90’s when U.P. and B.N. had special schemes for the vets. Cant wait to see it.

NS has more class than BNSF. They honor the troops, their past, their fans with the return of the steam program and have a good paint scheme. Plus they didn’t pay 43 million dollars for a terrible looking copy cat logo.

Come on UP, do it again. Honor our Military Veterans for what we did. The UP has always honored the military with a "Special Paint Job on a Locomotive.

Great video of the paint job on youtube. Search “how do you paint a locomotive” excellent

I would love to have seen a picture of this Loco included with
the article. I and my son are both Veterans!

Aside from the UP, too bad the others won’t do something similar/
