Very cool! Love your Heritage locomotives

[@Blueboat21]

I recently rewatched when you chased the 675 in here. That was super neat seeing you in an environment that was nearby. See ya on the high iron

[@CSX6711]

You guys are killing with these beautiful heritage units, also thanks for the great information NS!!!

[@richardhawkinson3020]

Fascinating. I worked at the Boeing Everett plant for years and the paint hangar operations were fascinating especially the painting of the 747.

[@SimonsEMDProductions]

I’m amazed my the shear size of the Juniata shops! I would love to see NS do more community outreach programs. I appreciate the railroad for giving us these nice heritage units and repainting them!

[@RFPAreaRailfanner]

Y'all do an awesome job painting those locomotives! Great job!

[@James89378]

I agree

[@HarryTheFarmer-wl6qz]

Awsome! Your Herritage locomotives are one of a kind!😊

[@SSTHECAMARO]

[@RFPAreaRailfanner]

0:23 you should repaint the Illinois Terminal Heritage Unit. That one needs to be repainted or washed.

[@Straight2_Offical]

Nice job NS, thank god they don’t look like CNs (please don’t attack me)

[@Dieselfueledwork]

Please repaint the Penn Central Heritage Locomotive!!

[@PmazRailfan4001]

[@Railfanlukin]

I caught 8100 and 8025

[@davidwhiting1761]

How does a class I the size of Norfolk Southern with as many shops and facilities the railroad owns only have 1 paint shop? I would have thought you'd at least a couple more to keep the fleet looking its best without needing to run all the way to Pennsylvania.

[@Runt3132]

Most railroads have only one paint shop due to most paint jobs now being handled by contractors and motive power rebuilders like MidAmerica in Kansas City.

[@Inrun8]

They did have more than one. Chattanooga had a paint shop. The company is being cheap and shutting shops down trying to save money which makes it ironic that they dedicate a unit to there employees who are steadily being put out of work.

[@LMLRailfan]

Nice Lol
Good job NS

[@Matthewdavenport-k2l]

hopefully these wont derail

[@EvanKoglin]

Yall had 50 painters and now yall have 12, if I was you I wouldn’t have posted this

[@armandoperez7967]

Come on BNSF, do some heritage units! You are the only class one that doesn’t have any heritage units! No, an orange unit with stickers doesn’t count! Better yet, charge your name to Santa Fe Railway and bring back the war bonnets, both red and silver and blue and yellow.

ah yes the nuke railroad

[@joshthetrainfan]

You guys have awesome heritage units! Also, I suggest retiring unit 9549, which has been stored there a while due to wreck damage, and rebuild that whole thing into an AC44C6M.

[@nshelper7229]

You guys should do the autism awareness and the miracle league unit

[@ianthacker4867]

Pen central 1073 needs repainted

[@maestromecanico597]

Anyone showed this to BNSF yet? They seem to be allergic to fresh paint.

[@svenmartin840]

I hope Norfolk Southern paints a couple of locomotives in tribute to their European Counterparts like the Die Ban with a Big DB

[@Runt3132]

in your dreams

[@NS1221Productions]

This kid doesn't even know what he's talking about smh

[@324atleD]

At least they painted the sign. It was in severe disrepair for a decade to the point you could not even read it. Otherwise the entire facility is an eyesore on the communality. Full of trash and weeds and dilapidated buildings. Nothing to be proud of here.

[@RAtheGoodRailfanner_888]

You guys are whole lot better than Csx.. y’all got more good stuff while Csx has dumb wasted potential..

[@Amtrak2005]

Bro NS Threats their employees like trash, plus not only that NS Has a lot of derails over the years now and has the worst PSR in the world, they don't even care about it at all, plus NS Wastes their money at all, CSX is lot better tbh.

[@RAtheGoodRailfanner_888]

@@Amtrak2005 But at least bnsf doesn’t have to deal with PSR..

[@RAtheGoodRailfanner_888]

@@Amtrak2005 Csx dont care about their old engines and they just wanna leave them in storage forever while Ns has the potential to rebuild them…
