Honoring Our Veterans

CHOCOWINITY -- A Norfolk Southern web site says, “As part of its 30th anniversary celebration in 2012, NS painted 20 new locomotives in the color schemes of predecessor railroads. The commemorative units quickly became known as NS' Heritage Locomotives.” We don’t see a lot of them own here near the eastern end of the lines, but occasionally get lucky. This unique paint job salutes our military veterans. The first weekend in February 2015, it passed through New Bern and Chocowinity before heading back west. Here, I caught photos (in rather poor late day light) making a train in Marsden/Chocwinity on a Sunday afternoon.
