Red Mane Blue Mane

Two of the newest special paint schemes made a return trip up the Appalachia district on Thursday dragging a long string of empty hoppers. These are two of the C40-9 to AC44C6M conversions done by the Juniata and Roanoke shops.

Under the signal on the west wend of Yuma yard.

Into Yuma yard.
NS4005 is Juniata's second AC44C6M rebuild and was painted gray with a blue stripe on the horse mane. 

NS4003 is Roanoke's second AC44C6M rebuild and was painted gray with a tuscan red stripe on the horse mane.
