Now that the C40-8s are almost all off the roster and inactive, SD70 2539 just might be roughest looking active locomotive on the roster.

This is a joke, but maybe this should be put on HU for the roughest looking NS special interest. Just a joke though. Date: 04/05/17 22:35 Re: REALLY in need of a paint job.

They sold 44 of them to LTE Rail Services (LTEX) and 12 were sold to Progress Rail. Chris Toth NSDash9.com Date: 04/06/17 00:25 Re: REALLY in need of a paint job. Author: SantaFeRuss I caught two C40-8 units rolling westbound DIT last week along with PR43 #133 in the same lashup. Norfolk Southern at Leetsdale, PA.

 Date: 04/06/17 04:32 Re: REALLY in need of a paint job. Author: nkp746 Wow, that just begs to be modeled...my Athearn Genesis NS SD70 is on the way from Caboose- any chance I could impose on you for full size and any additional photos of the 2539 so I can use them to "paint up" my new SD70?
Sure will get comments when run...but it will be prototypical!

No it would be dumb to add this to heritage units. I just meant it as a joke. Date: 04/06/17 12:43 Re: REALLY in need of a paint job. Author: ns2557 Reminds me of some of the SP Tunnel Motors that were around years ago. Looked like a skin disease on them, just as it does on this one. Ben
