heritage units other than UP

[Lord Atmo]

I'd like to see NS do a few. Especially one in the paint scheme of the old NS (The road SOU bought a long time ago. yes there WAS another Norfolk Southern)

and I'd like to see BNSF do a few. GN, NP, ATSF, BN, SLSF, CB&Q, any i forgot

Don't forget that NS has a GP59 in Southern Railway green and Finger Lakes official scheme is the old New York Central lightening stripes.

The Finger Lakes Railway of central New York painted up this "heritage" unit in a classic Lehigh Valley scheme..the FGLK runs on some original LV trackage.

Some RRs have official heritage locos (UP,NS,CP) and some have "unofficial" heritage locos (CN, CSX, CP) which are basically predecessor power that has not been repainted yet.

 

and BNSF

Personally, though this may sound strange, I think Amtrak should do something like that.  I mean, look how diverse the equipment was back in the early 70s.  Idk, just a thought.

CP has its business train power in original wine red and gray and the NS business train power is in original SR black and white.  Keep in mind that one of the reasons that UP developed the Heritage Fleet was to protect the trademarks.

Norfolk Southern 4610 is painted in Southern RR colors with a Southern herald on the hood.

Even though Wheeling and Lake Erie is not a class 1. they do have heritage units one is for the Pittsburgh & West Virginia and the other is the Akron Canton & Youngstown sorry I don't remember the unit numbers right off hand.

What UP did was really nice, but I am not too sure how many other railroads are concerned with giving a nod to history.

Since CN has a chronic dislike for repainting old locomotives, there is not shortage of now fallen flags to see on that line....BC Rail, WC, IC, GTW....sure, they might be getting faded and dirty, but they still keep showing up...

 Although I do know what you mean, and I think that may well be an interesting idea for other RR's as well

Well, you obviously haven't visited the WC lately.

Only 2 SW1500s are left in WC paint, and roughly 10 other WC painted locos are left.

I have no idea why no IC stuff got repainted, and I see my fair share of GTW quite often.

Ok, sorry 'bout that. I was just speaking from what I've seen up in Southeast Ontario. I have seen a few WC units around (albeit not in a little while)...I know originally a lot of the SD45's were still hanging around in WC paint, but I realize those were being faded out

Should other railroads have heritage units like UP does?I would love to see fallen flags of the CN,NS,CSX,and BNSF.
