NEW YORK CENTRAL #1066
Posted by JC UPTON on Monday, December 17, 2018 5:12 AM

I just saw a ?modern? 6 axel diesel locomotive, painted in black w/ silver, and “NEW YORK CENTRAL 1066” on a UP grain train in AZ. (YouTube 2018)

Can anyone explain?

It's part of the NS heritage fleet.  http://www.nsdash9.com/heritage.html

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

Thanks...

 

I assumed it was "someone's" heritage unit. 

 

Might you know which dash9 variant?

There's a website you can use to track Heritage Units around North America. You can join (for free) and add posts when you see or photograph one.
