NS 5277 still in Blue.

5277 was running around South Jersey until spring of 2007. Glad to see it's still Blue.

Shes been hanging around Central Jersey for some time now. I'm glad we have the CR blue and not NS black.

headed out today to catch the local in thordale, to my surprise the blue showed up.

Spotted CSXT 7305 on 12/26/08 in CR blue headed west through Riverdale, MD on a mixed freight.

It was leading the Q-405-26.

Taylors, SC 6/25/08 Rather dirty, but proudly leading this ~150 car train. He was accelerating from a red, but normally they do 65+ on this line, even through town.

CSX 7928 C40-8W in Conrail colors in Newton, MA yesterday behind CSX 5417 with no cars. Running to Boston.

Conrail Operation Lifesaver (Norfolk Southern) #5290 was roaming around South Jersey the past 2 weeks. Does anyone know how many remain in the Operation Lifesaver Paint scheme? According to NSdash9.com the two remaining were NS #5262 and #5290. I think #5262 has been repainted death black so that only leaves one left on Norfolk Southern's roster. Does CSX have any Conrail Blue still left in the Operation Lifesaver paint scheme?

Here's #5290 about a week ago, I really hope they let her stay blue for a few more years...she still looks mighty good.
