Norfolk Southern Business Locomotive #4271

[NW Modeling List]

I'm not the only one to think this is the worst paint scheme in the collective history of all NS' former roads?

Dave:
The subject locomotive is an F9A, EMD. It is part of a set NS uses for business and special trains. The other three are:
4271 F9A
4275 F7B (no cab)
4276 F7B (no cab)

See:
http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/locoPicture.aspx?id=79233

These units are painted in a scheme very similar to the former Southern Railway F's.

Also to see the more info on each see:
