c604: Interesting picture of NS's Diesel unit honoring US Veterans...Neat color scheme there...
Thinking of the SWS I recall that N&W used their Bicentennial 1776 unit on the Orland Park commuter
train sometime during the Summer of 1976...It was a nice touch there as it toured the N&W system.
This new NS unit reminds me of the N&W 1776 in some ways...
As a Heritage unit I would like to see at least one late 70s era F40PH kept in the RTA color scheme
that they were delivered with...Is there currently one in service now and if not how long ago was
there one? I have always liked those colors-and on the other hand disliked the color scheme of the
former C&NW and RI painted bilevel cars...Metra's colors look much better...
