Very nice! There is some unusual color scheme of first locomotive. Is it some kind of new?
@Ilia.Obuhov.52
Thanks, yes it is, and I wish! This is one of the twenty new locomotives NS painted in all of its predecessor schemes back in 2012. They have been roaming the system and even getting off line for service on other railroads in the twelve years since. I've seen and recorded most of the other heritage units leading trains, but never this one until now. I had only captured it in a trailing position in the consist or just sitting in an engine facility. I think it is the best scheme of the bunch, and that NS should replace their current boring scheme with it, but that won't happen. At the rate I've seen it over the years, I'll be lucky to see it again in my lifetime! 🙂
Very interesting! Have a good luck to catch more and more this ones!
