Hit the nail on the head, SD50, most likely ex CR #5088. There are some big gaps in that ex-CR number series, as NS only has 18 of these units (4800-4817). Rest went to CSX (5950-5961).

Talked to both the Division Road Foreman and the Detroit Diesel Foreman and both ageed the 4816 is a former CR GE B-40-8

Thanks for all of your answers! I agree... it must be a B40-8, since that is the cab sublettering ;)
