NS to [possibly] honor the NH on a SD70ACe

From Railpace HotNews (http://www.railpace.com/hotnews):

NORFOLK SOUTHERN HERITAGE LOCOMOTIVES: Norfolk Southern will roster 18 heritage locomotives, split among two locomotive models. Initial plans are for the following heritage schemes:
SD70ACe: Savannah & Atlanta , Pittsburgh & West Virginia , Penn Central , Reading , Erie , Erie Lackawanna , Virginian , New Haven or 1960`s Norfolk Southern , New York Central , Wabash.
ES44AC : Conrail , N&W , Pennsy , Lehigh Valley , Nickle Plate Road , Southern Green : E8 style , Tennessee Alabama & Georgia , Central of Georgia.

Considering NS doesn't even operate over any NH territory, I can see the NH losing out in favor of "1960s Norfolk Southern", but I do admire the fact that they are remembering their roots. But until CSX does something similar, I'd like to see the NS take on the New Haven's colors. I'd assume they'd go for something from the McGinnis era, something either like my avatar pic or similar to the U25B/C425 "last locomotive order".

Let the speculation begin. Any thoughts?

Well... From a design standpoint, the McGinnis scheme, with its "shards" of different colours, might actually work on an SD70ace: most 1940s/1950s colour schemes don't really go very well with the more angular shape of modern locomotives.

NS does operate over a few miles of NH track through the remanents of Maybrook Yard, although I believe that was leased to the MNJ recently. If you want to see what it will most likely look like, Lionel Trains has already made a model of it
C.J.V.

Looks like we lost out:
