  • 🥁 Drumroll pleaseeee..... the Virginian restoration is complete! ✨
    It took 10 carmen 550+ hours to restore and repaint NS1069. Over 72 gallons of primer, paint and clear coat were used.
    Over the next few years, all 20 of our Heritage locomotives will be getting a fresh coat of paint in the color schemes of our predecessor railroads. 👏
    Which #NSHeritageLocomotive do you think will arrive at Juniata Locomotive Shop next?

    Had Jim Squires still been the president, I dare say he would’ve just ordered it to be painted all black. That idiot pretty much undid almost everything that Moorman had strived for from the steam program to the F-units and even employee morale. Here’s hoping Alan Shaw will do better.

The others only did theirs to be able to continue legally charging for the copyright/trademark usage of their defunct fallen flag identities.

To them marketing CSX is it first and foremost among everything even on the heritage unit CSX must be the brand that still is represented ...which is bottom line thanking! It will not change!
