Good news!! Get your cameras ready. A good friend of mine is a carman employed by NS in the former Wabash car shop in Decatur Illinois. He stopped by today with a press release from the NS website www.nscorp.com stating that they will be painting 18 new locomotives in commemorative schemes that reflect the heritage of the fallen flags that are its predecessors . Follow this link for the various paint schemes http://www.nscorp.com/nscportal/nscorp/Media/News%20Releases/2012/ns_heritage.html Since the former Wabash Tenth District Decatur to St Louis double track main (now single track) is right out my back door you know which locomotive I'll be watching for.
