    I was lucky enough to catch this unit, not realizing that it was "special". It is the last NS D9-40CW, since that model is not Tier 2 compliant, or whatever...

    Why is the unit just primer and a quick stencil?

    Thanks, Darren....

    I had exchanged e-mails with Alan and told him I'd try and drop in this weekend. I have had a lot going on (mostly good) so I'll see if I can try and get back in the saddle. :D

    NS has been taking delivery of their new units in primer and painting them in their own shops for some time now. I think it was originally so they could get them on the rails (in service) quicker. A week after this photo was taken, I caught a pair of new SD70M's , also in primer (although the GMD primer is a much lighter, tan color)

    I caught a CP SD90 on NS train 349 coming through Raleigh about 8 months ago.
