Hey Ralph there will be a Penn Central unit. NS gave in and now they will have 19 Heritage units instead of 18.

It's not my picture to post, And the NS only appears inside the cab so the crews don't confuse it with a shared assets unit.
It looks the same as the first wide cabs delivered in the CR scheme in the late 90's.

Here's food for thought, NS 8098 & 8099 came out of the plant together. One went to altoona ( 8098 ) and the other went to Chatt, TN. Juniata managed to paint her and have her outside before the Chattanoga shops. Juniata is still holding up to its name for sure. Now which place would you rather have paint the locomotives?

Quality, not quantity... Goldth In all fairness to the Tenn. fellows, the Conrail job is one color, and vinyl lettering and vinyl logos. the Southern scheme is at least 2 colors, and it takes time for paint to dry enough for the additional masking, as well as time to paint. The Conrail unit was probably in Altoona sooner too.
