How CSX of them . . . :-)

Not so much in the naming area, but when (if ever) is NewSouthern going to
create a companion N&W heritage unit a la the Southern "tuxedo" SD40 3170
that was released earlier this year? Something in the tuscan passenger
paint of the early dieselization might be nice, or even the steam-era
"Norfolk and Western" spelled out on the long hood in gold with the "N&W"
in a circle above the unit number on the cab (not the hamburger version,
the earlier one).
