I'm going to attempt to be in the bed by 10:50 so I can have 8 solid hours of sleep unless the Lord wakes me up in the middle of night or like last night/this morning I'm having a text conversation with someone. Someone sent me a text near midnight. I woke up a little after 2 and responded to it and to my shock they were awake....LOL!

Went to emusic to buy some of today's new releases, and come to find they've issued me some "courtesy credit", enough to download both albums. It's the little things.

Amen!

are you kidding? I absolutely care that this is finally going to be over, lol!

Oh yeah??? Well this will make you break out in a shout!!!!

Nobody Really Cares (except for Nessa for obvious reasons), but the Illinois Terminal is the latest and next to last of Norfolk Southern heritage units. Shown here is NS # 1072, an EMD SD70ACe.

The IT was a heavy duty electric interurban railroad that became part of the Norfolk & Western Railway in 1982 after having been owned by a consortium of 9 Class 1 carriers.

Looks like you captured an EMD GP38-2. These (along with their GP38 predecessors) were very popular medium powered road switchers.

EMD once stood for the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors. GM sold the company a few years ago and the initials now stand for Electo-Motive Diesel; Caterpillar is their current owner via its Progress Rail Services Corp. subsidiary. A new locomotive (weather it's made by EMD or General Electric) costs roughly between $1.5 - $2 million a copy. EMD's have a reputation for being very reliable, and durable. Some older models are approaching 40 years of service...some have been rebuilt and are practically brand new. They were once the number 1 builder until GE stepped up their game in terms of both the product and service and have since taken over the number 1 spot. But if you happen to be shopping for a used diesel to operate that short-line that you just started up, EMD locomotives dominate that market. GE's, until their Dash9 and GEVO locomotives, don't seem to hold up as well for some reason (possibly due to lack of familiarity by railroad shop personnel because EMD's have been far more common). I've heard a story of an engineer who hated GE's so much that he wouldn't let his wife buy GE light bulbs.....how ironic as GE bulbs can be found on EMD's!

I have a feeling the trains are going nowhere. Maybe a train thread? Lol. I'm just kidding, I really don't mind at all. Even though the extent of my knowledge is "OOOOHHHH pretty train!"

Good one Betnich. We should always try to maintain our train of thought.

Hello LGM!!! I know that nobody really cares, but after much anticipation even to the consternation of some LGM'ers, the 20th and final heritage painted unit has been released by Norfolk Southern.

The Delaware Lackawanna & Western Railroad (known as the "the route of Phoebe Snow" for its named passenger train) is commemorated as Norfolk Southern SD70ACe #1074 shown here at Muncie, IN. The DL&W was a Class 1 railroad operating in the states of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Competition from trucks and declining coal traffic eventually lead to a merger with its bitter rial, the Erie Railroad to form the Erie Lackawanna. The EL would eventually become part of the Conrail which as split up between NS and its rival, CSX.

Thus concludes the Norfolk Southern Heritage Locomotive repainting updates. Of course, I will keep you updated on any new developments regarding these units....Or perhaps, we shall go through Union Pacific Heritage Fleet?
