WOW .... DOUBLE WOW ...... NOOOO .... TRIPLE WOW .... This is the first time I ever saw this ... and DAMN ! ! ! ! ! .. I'm 68 years old and have loved trains all my life! Even now, I live only 2 blocks from the NS main lines, and watch 'em every day while i'm walkin round the yard! Looking at these beautiful Heritage Units brings back many, many, many memories ...... I watched many of these road names pass by over the years !!!! i'm thrilled to have found this video! Thank you so much for sharing it with the world!

I was at the Transportation museum just last month, no heritage units were there, but the 611 was and she was getting a face lift and didn't look like her usual pretty self. The Southern RR 200,000th PS 50' boxcar was looking great after her paint job. The original blue/yellow/green wave pattern looked awesome, can't wait to see it finished.

To add, you see em now compared to how immaculate they are on here, you just get angry and get misty eyed. Missing paint, sludgy, sooty, lack of its original lustre; they all need to get washed and repainted to give them back their dignity and sense of pride. 8 years? It's now time to do just that NS, don't you think? That's why we as railfans spend hours and time chasing them. They deserve and demand our respect

I wish CSX would do what NF Southern has done bringing back the old heritage flags. Would be great to see the old Chessie System, B&O, C&O, L&N, WM, and Seaboard System flags on line again, but sadly i doubt CSX is interested in doing this. I give major props to Notfolk Southern for the gesture. Norfolk Southern is a Very classy railroad.

Living on the west coast (and born in the 70s) I never knew most of these roads, but these heritage units show a great love and accurate detail for NS's ancestry. But did I miss something -- the 3 which ended up between the Conrail and the Savannah & Atlanta never went on the turntable and I can't ID them by their schemes.

If CSX were to do this they could easily do 20+ HU's. One can dream. I've noticed all these years later that the SD70ACe's look a lot more worn down than the ES44AC's. I guess maybe a difference in paint
@chrisbailey93312 жыл бұрын
Absolutely brilliant video, it’s only recently that I discovered that NS had repainted so many locomotives; we have a few special liveried locomotives here in the UK but nothing on this scale! Just like playing trains, but on a grand scale 👍🏻🚂😁
@haydendraycott78974 жыл бұрын
Everytime I see videos and pics of these locos I'm always breathtaken at how incredibly awesome they look, NS really did them proud! Frustrating though as I have yet to actually see any in person, not to mention the line nearest where I live is the old B&O Metropolitan Branch, CSX needs to seriously get with the program.
