Norfolk Southern missed heritage scheme??
Author: Mr-Beechcroft

I know they didn't do a few of their predecessors and this is one of them. The New Haven was merged into the Penn Central back in 1968. Here is preserved Alco #0670 at Middlefield, Ct. back in 1993.

Does NS even run on any ex-NH trackage?

They did, but extremely minimal.  They got the old Maybrook yard NY (like 2 tracks now) which serves one or two customers north of I84.  But not any longer they leased the Middletown cluster to East Penn a few years back.  So as of now no they do not operate any NH trackage.

The two others were Lehigh & Hudson River and Lehigh & New England.  With that previously mentioned lease to the M&NJ, the L&HR in NY State is no longer operated by NS, leaving the L&HR bridge between Easton, PA and Phillipsburg, NJ - less than a mile of track.  They do operate a decent amount of L&NE trackage in PA.

I'm sure it would  be a stretch to find many ex L&NE employees alive in 2017.  However, count me in among those who would love to see an SD70 in L&NE or L&HR paint!

I would like to see a modern unit in McGinnes colors

CDOT has several units in the vintage McGuiness colors.
