Surprise

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

The President - Chief Executive Officer ( Wick Moorman ) is ex Southern
Railway.

That might have some bearing on the color scheme that was chosen.

 

Just remember back in 1982 when the N & W came out on top with the top
official jobs at the newly formed Norfolk Southern all the office cars were
painted Tuscan Red.

Wow!  That's really nice.  (although I'm not really a fan of the Southern
Ry.)

 

Why is it they pay homage to Southern with old paint schemes but they've yet
to reletter a locomotive in some sort of N&W scheme?

 

I know they wouldn't want to rehabilitate a couple of GP 9's for the
business train for obvious reasons, but a tuscan red SD70 or EVO would look
pretty sharp in my opinion.  Also, in all fairness, I think they should have
three heritage sets.  With Southern and N&W, how about a Pennsylvania scheme
as well?  (or my personal favorite, Penn Central!)

I guess you are speaking of the new Fs that NS just purchased from the KCS?

 

They picked up the 4 (A-B-B-A) set that had been used on the St. Louis
Dinner Train. The plan is (From Wick Moreman's mouth) is to paint the set in
the Southern's Black Tuxedo Scheme and used on OCS trains.

I haven't seen anything posted here, but, coming down the road last night I
passed something unusual. I understand that Wick Moorman has a surprise for
you.
