New Norfolk Southern paint scheme

[DelawareAndHudson]

This is reported to be the paint scheme that will be applied to Norfolk Southern's AC44C6M rebuilds.  DC to AC conversions.  As far as current day Class Ones go, NS is by far my favorite.  All the new and interesting paint scheme variations the past 4 years are a big part of that.  The fact that NS has two major routes that cross and a fairly large yard two miles from my house is another major plus.  I have easy access to watch NS.

NS 4001 was through my town earlier this week so I finally caught that unit.  Haven't downloaded my pics yet but here's some info on the AC44C6M fleet with pictures of the first three units completed.  The blue/yellow/grey is pretty cool and since I grew up along the Delaware & Hudson, this scheme is somewhat reminiscent of the D&H.  In spite of that, I think I prefer the black/grey version of the scheme.  Looking forward to catching it one of these days.
