Wabash "Cannon Ball" in Amarillo

Northfork Southern Railroad Heritage Locomotives are locomotives that have been painted in an honorary paint scheme of a now-defunct railroad that merged with or were acquired by the Norfolk Southern.

NS Heritage Locomotive #1070 honors the history and heritage of the Wabash Railroad. It is one of 20 SD70ACe locomotives that received heritage paint schemes that were acquired or merged with Northfork Southern.

In this video you will see NS 1070 on the point of a BNSF Double Stack train leaving Amarillo Texas. At the time of its departure, all four mainlines of the Transcon in the Amarillo vicinity were filled. Not only filled, but other trains were waiting on the outskirts of Amarillo at red blocks until the congestion could be cleared up.

We have other Heritage locomotives featured in our video collection.
