smallspy Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Man those look gorgeous. Especially the retro NS. That's not retro NS. That's the original NS, which was a totally different shortline railroad. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfirenet Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 8104 - Lehigh Valley http://www.railpictu...d=397080&nseq=8 I think this one locomotive proves just how much NS cares about thier heritage fleet. Why? They actually put the time and money into fixing the nose. Another angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
