thanks gentleman for the kind words. i was just lucky to have caught it when and where i did . when i got there they were in the middle of a crew change so it was stopped for a few minutes. the crews were very friendly as well.it

ive seen photos of this locomotive before and they do not do it justice. it looks so much more impressive in person.

Todd

yup!! "Sweet" is the word allright

That Reading unit is my new candidate for most beautiful diesel unit of modern times...

And...another memory jogger. Almost 50 years (?) since the ERIE disappeared into the EL...http://www.railpictures.net/photo/398802/...looks pretty fine. Bob C.

Oh my gosh, that's beautiful!!!

Wow...they did a nice job on that one too!

I just came upon this thread, and the photos of the new units are great..As a side note the Anthracite Railroad Historical Society is very involved with NS in the research for the new paint scheme. And yes,, there will be a CNJ unit.

NS definitely deserves major props for this heritage program. The RDG "Bee Line" unit is amazing! And they have even gone so far as to reletter the cab of the NKP unit to get the correct font of the old Nickel Plate. Hats off to the employees of the NS for a job well done.

NS is sending units back to the paint booth for corrections. Full Story here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.easternrailroadnews.com/2012/05/29/ns-sending-some-heritage-units-back-to-the-booth/">http://www.easternrailroadnews.com/2012 ... the-booth/</a><!-- m -->

Mikey....Those are SUPERB ! Thanks for being "on the SPOT !"...and sharing. I'm not sure this'll work (or that it's appropriate), as I received the link to some also beautiful shots by Mr. Dave Davies (for which I thank Dave D. and my email friend) displayed on "trainorders"...they don't yet show on his "railpictures" gallery. Please Mod out the link if it's doubtful or objectionable for any reason. Bob C. The link is: http://members.trainorders.com/ddavies/News/news.htm

Thanks for the compliment
