Apparently the first of Norfolk Southern's "Heritage" locomotives has been released. Posted on the Heritagelocomotives forum was a link to a not-so-great photo uploaded to rrpicturearchives.net (sorry Stan) of the Conrail "Heritage" ES44 #8098

Let this be a challenge to you east coast photographers: get out there and shoot a LocoPhotos worthy image to post here! Heck, you might even be the first to do so.
Guess this means the other NS "Heritage" locos will be forthcoming before too long...

Interesting they choose one of the very recent fallen flags to do first instead of something a little more "thrown back". Guess they figure there's still several CR guys in the photo room that know how to decal a CR engine. I'm guessing they're going to use small "NS" under the numbers to denote ownership of these endangered species?

My bet says the first whining we hear will be that the nose lettering is too small or the cab number font is wrong. Folks should just be happy NS is doing this at all.

Wouldn't it be funny if someone missed the memo and when 8098 inevitably gets to Chattanooga they run it through the paint shop because it's Conrail unit !

Looks just fine to me. Kudos to NS for this program; what an act of class!

Nice to see that they have added Penn Central to the list. Its going to be a SD70ACe, painted by EMD and the original NS is now going to be a ES44AC.

Very sharp looking unit. Nice that it's in the 'original' Conrail image, not the Quality image.

Awesome paint scheme. But, does anybody see those HH SD40-2s rusting away on the left?

Those high hoods are straight SD40's, not Dash 2's. They've been sitting there for several years now. NS recently just sent a handful of them for scrap.

Oh. They are? I heard about the scrap move from AltoonaWorks on Facebook. The odd thing is that they still had their MU cables, horns, bells, and smoe even had their number boards. I find it odd that they would not retrieve this from their units. Ah well. What NS wants, NS gets...
