Six (6) new "Progress Rail" SD70ACe-T4 EMDX locomotives! Tue., Feb., 18th

Caught these heading westbound into the NS New Haven-East Wayne yard on Tuesday, February 18, 2020.
I'm not familiar with "Progress Rail." I'll have to check into it.
Thank you for watching.

It literally look like they were being delivered to Norfolk Southern

and EMDX2121 is running around in a similar paint.

Well, interesting

Watching a recent video by “Delay-In-Block Productions,” of February 21, I learned “Progress Rail” is out of Kentucky. Last year CR, for example ordered some SD70ACe for their Heritage units from Progress Rail.

Progress is the division of Caterpillar that manufactures these locomotives. They were built in Muncie, IN and likely painted in Mayfield.
Conrail ceased to exist before any SD70ACe's were built, and they never had a Heritage program.
This information is all available in a few quick Google searches.

So, NS decided to test the SD70ACE-4s again? Searching around cause their hasn't been any info on it.

KCS is leasing these they were the Cancelled Ns order

[@scobylandrail8177]

Don’t know if they are NS. Just “Progress Rail.” If being tested NS will acquire them?

[@leewashington5208]

Oh that's why. Them being black instead of the Banana Yellow like the others KCS lease threw me of.

[@scobylandrail8177]

Jack Carson's Railroad Videos Ah. Thank you.

You can tell they were supposed to be NS by the headlight position.
