ALTOONA, Pa. — Norfolk Southern’s Lackawanna heritage locomotive, SD70ACe No. 1074, has emerged from the Juniata Locomotive Shop with a fresh coat of paint.
NS, which showed off the locomotive on social media yesterday, says it took 10 carmen 750 hours to blast, prep, and paint the unit. More than 105 gallons of primer, color coat, and clear coat were applied to the 1074.
The Lackawanna locomotive joins the Virginian unit as refreshed heritage units. NS plans to touch up or fully repaint the rest of its heritage fleet.
Next up: The Pennsylvania unit, ES44AC No. 8102, which is undergoing work now.
The 20-unit NS heritage fleet dates to the company’s 30th anniversary in 2012.
