New NS Special Coming Soon

I've been told (and had visual confirmation) of a specially painted SD60E to be unveiled by NS soon. I've only seen the "painting-in-progress" shot, but I can say it isn't what I expected and it isn't the most appealing thing I've ever seen. Can't tell you what the theme is supposed to be, because I really don't know. Also cannot share the picture at this time. Not sure when it will be released.
admin edit: Y@ says this is what NS will model it after:

Supposedly it will come out in around a week or so, barring any setback.

Thanks for posting, Justin.
A vinyl patch on the side of the locomotive isn't much more than an NMRA decal on the side of the engine. It sounds really neat for the NMRA, but it's a long way from a special paint job. I would even guess that the patch was applied indoors to keep the surface clean as they applied the decal, not because they really needed the paint shop to apply it.

Sometimes it's nice to enjoy what info you are given instead of making a big deal of it. Yay for patience!

The Seattle Seahawks inspired colors kind of mesh with the blackness that is the NS Locomotive...It's sort of growing on me.
