Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS 4000 question

Photographed the 4000 at Conneaut, OH today on 316.
​Looking back at various on-line photos, noted that an
​"NS" decal added.  Any reason why ?  Did not see
other side of unit.

​A new or recent standard practice ???

No real reason, someone just added the decals to the 4000 back in April of 2016.

Chris, will the SD70 DC to AC units now known as SD70ACC, will the first few wear a special paint scheme?

We'll have to wait and see.

Perhaps Chris can answer this, but are these rebuilds taller than a traditional Dash 9.  I seem to recall there being a height difference in the Dash 8 models (C vs CW).  Is that still true on the Dash 9 models, and if so, are these rebuilds taller than their original Dash 9 counterparts?

Thanks,

Sean: the rebuilds are not taller than a traditional Dash 9.  They have the same 15' 4" height to the top of the cab.

Trailing unit on 205, just out of Buffalo at 620am.

If somebody REALLY felt the need to put the NS decals on the cab, they could have at LEAST taken another two minutes to trim the black off the decal.   Does ANYBODY take pride in their work anymore?

I have a feeling why they did that, and I hope it never happens, but that reminds me of a patch and someday they'll repaint the unit into black. This way they already have the black with white letters. But, I'm just guessing.
