Watch as our talented paint shop team at Juniata Locomotive Shop bring the Thoroughbred Locomotive to life.
From start to finish, the process took approximately 430 hours, 10 carmen painters, and 75 gallons of paint to complete. The craftsmanship and skill of our Juniata team shines through in every detail. ✨🚂✨
To all our railroaders, thank you for your grit, heart, and drive that keep us moving the weight of the world.
Have you seen the Thoroughbred Locomotive out on the rails yet? Be sure to #ThankARailroader when you do!

The actual line employees work so hard to make NS run most times under very stressful conditions created by supervisors and management. Line NS Crews/Employees you have my total respect! It’s because of the ordinary NS crews and down in the trenches workers that NS keeps moving💪💪👍 OUTSTANDING JOB ON THE ENGINE👍👍👍

The Juniata locomotive shop did a great job changing it from a Frankenstein locomotive to the thoroughbred locomotive. They're definitely skilled when it comes to painting locomotives

Wow, fantastic job on the paint time lapse! You guys haven’t done one of these since the GoRail & Honoring our Veterans SD60Es I think. 4822 looks great with the red paint choice. Thank you NS and to all employees for all your hard work!

@alanmurdock4319 18 күн бұрын

That's not a new one, it has to be at least 12 years old. The EPA tier 3 emission came into effect in 2012. A dash 9 doesn't meet it. They can still be produced, but not sold for use in this country.

No I mean it’s a rebuilt locomotive. At least it’s probably older than 12 years.

The fact they call this a thoroughbred is an insult bc the true thoroughbreds are the like 10 remaining NS Dash 9s in the original logo that will unfortunately eventually be rebuilt bc they just don't have enough AC44C6Ms
