 I rode the 611 Excursion this morning to Lynchburg and back to Roanoke and had a blast.
As we were passing through the Roanoke Shops area, I noticed a strange looking Norfolk Southern locomotive.  I didn't have time to take a photo, but it was numbered 999 and had a green cab roof.  Some one in car that I was riding said it was a battery-powered locomotive.
That got my curiosity going.  Does any body have more information about this locomotive?  Is it battery-powered?  Was it purpose-built?  Or was it put together using the carbody of a retired diesel locomotive?
Thank you.
