Yep NS 4270 and 4271 are the A's while 4275 and 4276 are the B's. 4271 hasn't hade it out yet. He had to have heavy repairs. Not sure what his condition is now. The A's are ex B&O and B's are ex C&NW. They are not pure Southern since Goode sold all of the Southern FP7's even the ex Con F unit(s).
NS also has 17 Gold Harriman Awards. All back-to-back.

Oskar, I thought that NS got the F units from KCS. Also, is the NS OCS train coming to Altoona for Railfest 2007 next month? I'll be there! But I can do without those since the PRR E8's will be there too.

Oh, and in terms of UP, they are alright, not my favorite, but they are nice to see. I saw 7605 heading back to Erie, PA for a repaint into Armour Yellow on Saturday (6/9/07).

Can't get everything in life. UP version of the east? NS? That might be CSX comparing Amtrak with UP and CSX. I think BNSF is closer to NS. Atleast they don't stick a Amtrak train on a LUMBER SIDING!!! I was talking about a good thing. The Southern . Kevin

GOOD THINGS ONLY) *Rolls eyes* ;D Just a note for you UP fanatics out there. I was railfanning CSX the other day when a string of 60 brand new UP ballast cars blew by in the consist of a CSX freight. The weirdest part was.......they were green.

UGH. NO MORE BROKEN RECORD FOR ME.
Those ballast cars will get lost in a forest if it wasnt for the Red White & Blue UP logo.....and oh yeah the yellow reflective tape on the side.

They are painted green to mark that they are in MOW service.
