While I can handle the cab forward, I hope the rest of it doesn't look like that!

I guess that 4141 is heading to the Bush Library in College Station, TX.
I hope that it goes on display inside to get away from the Texas weather.

What is the final destination for 1111 before they remove the wraps?  And when are they removing them?

Wonder why they didn't use a newer SD70ACE with an isolated cab.

My heart goes out to you railroaders.   Boy after a few years of reading trainorders, I get down and kiss the ground that I never pursued a career in railroading.

A bit ironic that they chose a non-Isolated Cab SD70ACe to dedicate to their employees. I’m sure crews will be thrilled to have another non-Isolated Cab “Heritage” unit that will often be placed in the lead.

A-MEN brother! I SO agree with you on the career! I tried in the late 70s when they were PAYING employees to quit! Now I'm too old and THANKFUL I never got in! As for this 1111 farce, I'm sorry, but it looks like shit and couldn't have come at a worse time with all the layoffs!
