That's exactly right. NS got caught up in a power shortage and decided the new locos could be painted when they were shopped for maintenance. I see gray units every once in a while. The oddest loco I saw on NS's old Wabash line behind my shop was a Texas & Pacific F7 a couple years ago. I often see UP and BNSF power. The daily transfer local still runs with a caboose! The guys I work with tell me N&W 611 traveled on the old Wabash line. Unfortunately NS ended steam operations the same year I started work at DST. <br /> B.T.W. N&W also had maroon or Tuscan red locos too. Same as NS business car. <br /> <br /> I'm not up to date on what NS is buying now, only that they switch from EMD to GE. I haven't found any "free" information yet on how many C44-9CW's NS has but the 44's appear to be the latest and greatest. I don't know what the GEVO is. Is that their emission compliant locomotive? <br />
