Year after year, there always seem to be more special paint schemes for modern locomotives. But we've had so many requests for "normal" power we've decided to run some of these as well! Union Pacific's newest paint scheme is represented as well as contemporary companions from many of North America's largest railroads. With two powered and a SuperBass version available for each, you can build a typical consist or just back up your Heritage Fleet. Round two of our return of the Norfolk Southern Heritage roster features five popular ES44AC paint schemes representing all three branches of NS's heritage. Updated with PTC antenna arrays, locomotives are available in full LEGACY and nonpowered versions. And as NS is in the process of refreshing the paint on its fleet, CSX has now joined the party with their own!
