Can we keep tabs on which units receive "heritage" stickers? I'd like to see the lineup when its all said and done.

That being said a picture on LOCOMOTIVE ROSTER SHOTS on Facebook has came up showing CSX #5461 (ES40DC) with a Seaboard System sticker on the side of the nose. For a newer locomotive I am surprised it has been repainted already.

I wonder if any EMD's will get heritage stickers. Throw in a few SD50's or SD70MAC's with stickers.

I would rather see those engines sent to Pielet Bros.

I was talking about Saturnalia doing so when he gives the regular lowdown on repainted units.

I've been updating them as they come out, as they've always been associated with Repaints. I will make a list when it's done and put it in the Wiki. Or maybe sooner, depending on when I get time.

Very, very low chance EMD is represented, because the work is being done at Waycross, the GE shop. Huntington does almost exclusively EMDs, while Waycross is the same with GEs.

Thanks for the report. That is a new one.

That is the 900th-to-last YN2 unit. Only 899 remaining.

...of course...we could be a few off based on sightings. But for a gross approximation. :)

CSXT 8888 will become 4389.

This is not confirmed 100%, but it traces out. High level of confidence.

Wrecked. Into a washout IIRC.

The worst part is that they went through and posted the same scheme multiple times (the drab gray family lines on) with different reporting marks.

Just thought I'd share, we all know the real deal will probably never happen. I feel the same about freight car pictures, we all have our likes & dislikes in the hobby. Its what makes it unique to each.

Got around to making a Special Paint List tonight. Here she is, now part of the Wiki section. Will of course keep this one updated.

It includes all the Spirit Power, Heritage Emblems, and other things such as Diversity in Motion. Also noted a few other firsts and lasts.

If I'm missing anything, let me know!
