CLEVELAND — Norfolk Southern has introduced a pair of specially painted SD70ACe locomotives for use on its executive train with a unique design blending Norfolk & Western Tuscan Red — matching the office cars — with the standard NS black-and-white scheme. Locomotives 1230 and 1231 are shown on their first trip on Sunday, Nov. 9, 2025, running in a light rain just west of Cleveland at Battery Park. The railroad has not had locomotives specifically designated for executive train service since selling a A-B-B-A set of F units in 2019 [see “NS to dispose of executive F units …,” Trains.com, Nov. 12, 2019].
