Surprise

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

I want to commend Wick Moreman and NS management for this action. Like others I hope to also see the N&W diesel heritage commemorated in some way. But any action on the part of NS that recognizes its heritage seems cause for celebration and commendation.

=========================
Ever since 4610 was painted in SOUTHERN (bear in mind
I like SOUTHERN, but first and foremost I'm a N&W fan)
I've been waiting for an N&W unit.

Since the NORFOLK in NS is core to the success of NS
it is sad and definately a slight to N&W that they
have failed to paint a unit in a N&W "heritage" scheme
(I suggest the original "Redbird" scheme).

While the steam program was under operation we did
have 611 and 1218 carrying the N&W flag but since it
ended there's been nothing (except for older freight
cars).

Yes we have the N&W red on the business cars but they
say "NORFOLK SOUTHERN".
