NS Heritage engines
Author: antlorch

If anyone is interested a few of the NS Hertiage engines are in San Antonio,Tx and the old SP roundhouse/ diesel shops. This is the Southwest Research Center doing emissions testing I believe.

Would have been nice if they could have just chosen some run-of-the-mill SD70ACes for this testing, instead of tying up two NS Heritage units in the shop. As others have said so many times, paint doesn't affect how it runs.

They are testing the 2012 EMD Tier 3 emissions compliant units, and all 10 of those NS SD70ACe's are in heritage paint.
