Surprise

Just my thought from observing some of the posts here...be glad for what is being done and quit whining about NS not doing this or that.

  =========================
  Ever since 4610 was painted in SOUTHERN (bear in mind
  I like SOUTHERN, but first and foremost I'm a N&W fan)
  I've been waiting for an N&W unit.

  Since the NORFOLK in NS is core to the success of NS
  it is sad and definately a slight to N&W that they
  have failed to paint a unit in a N&W "heritage" scheme
  (I suggest the original "Redbird" scheme).

  While the steam program was under operation we did
  have 611 and 1218 carrying the N&W flag but since it
  ended there's been nothing (except for older freight
  cars).

  Yes we have the N&W red on the business cars but they
  say "NORFOLK SOUTHERN".
