Though I was disappointed in Union Pacific's selection of color schemes for the Katy and Western Pacific, they kept the program interesting enough for railfans to enjoy and the model manufacturers busy turing out new products in all scales.  Norfolk Southern's reply to UP's Heritage Fleet has been overkilled to the point I am sick of seeing it spread all over the covers and contents of the magazines and even a special.  I will save my money. CSX and BNSF are too busy laying new track and replacing track that was ripped up to consider such a PR program at the moment.  Replacing the S Line in Virginia and North Carolina on the CSX is a comittment towards the future and they certainly need to consider putting track back on the Atlantic Coast Line's Perry Cutoff in NW Florida to speed freight to and from an ever growing Tampa Bay area which includes the Port of Tampa. Indeed, I would love to see purple and silver heritage units reflecting the proud history of the ACL and olive drab and yellow Seaboard units as well, but the users of rail service want on time performance and demand same in a 21st Century global economy and not some fancy diesel on the point of a container or coal train so railfans can shoot up more film!
