New NS color Scheme?

[Anonymous]

I like the NS color the way it is. The B/W color accurately depicts the type of railroad NS is.....hard working and rugged.

I have seen this gray color on units for other roads as well. I am told that it is just plain old primer. We (BNSF) ordered some units awhile back and were at so much of a power shortage, they didn't want to wait the extra time for the factory to paint the locos, so they were delivered in primer with real generic markings stenciled on. After the power shortage subsided, they were sent back to be painted......so I'm told.

I hope that the engineer dosn't reflect the opinion of the NS. A splash of any colour would be etter than the black and white that it is now.

I saw an oddity today, on a standing in wait westbound NS freight on the old wabash, the lead unit was a cement color gray/green, with black lettering.

Seemed to have all the correct markings too..... I liked it in fact, told the engineer too,..he just shook his head and said "too hard to keep clean"

Wish I had got a pic for you guys, it was awesome.
