I got to see this engine on Oct 9th, heading south in a consist that was sitting stopped at Newport MN on the BNSF (ex-CB&Q) mainline between the Twin Cities and Chicago. I was very happy, since although NS units are pretty common on that line (I believe due to a Chicago - St.Paul run-thru agreement originally started about 50 years ago between NYC and the Burlington Route), NS's nearest trackage is about 400 miles away from here.

Anyone else have a chance to see this engine??

Wasn't CSX soaking the model makers for the use of NYC logos? Here NS is using them on the real thing.
