While on my morning walk "rest" I heard a horn blowing and walk over to the track and saw a white face unit coming slow.I hustled over to the east side of the connector track and took these photos..

Nice catch, Larry!
That's a classy-looking business train. It'd look even better with the 611 on the point, though.   Wayne

NS got rid of the E8's shortly after the take-over. These are F units they bought several years ago and completely overhauled/rebuilt them. They did the work in Altoona, and when I saw them close up they were in showroom condition.

Larry, those are great shots. I'm stuck on a low volume line and have only seen them by us one time. They were parked in Oakmont for a golf tournament a couple of years ago and I got a close look at the whole train. Beautiful work, and beautiful automotive quality paint jobs. I am glad there are still craftsmen in the industry.

Really good looking units. I wish you could buy those passenger cars somewhere...they'd probably be hard to paint that well and match the color right.

Here are a couple of NS 11, the one is a digital close up so you can see the paint and lettering better. The paint is close to the old fashioned candy apple red.
