Title: Heard a Rumor
Post by: Tom Kepshire on April 01, 2012, 09:00:59 pm

That later this year CSX was coming out with a Heritage Classic unit in Monon black and gold. The drawing was submitted to the MRHTS Facebook page by Nathan Bliger,  It was posted on the Indiana Railroads Boards. I can't wait to see if this becomes a reality.

I don't expect CSX to do any heritage units, so I took an N scale undecorated SD90 and painted my own Monon Heritage locomotive.  The attached photo is my SD90 in front of a Chris Rund INRD poster.  Since INRD has a lot of SD90s, I picked them for my heritage unit.

The following is a link to the last INRD CF7, that the INRD has gotten rid of.

Sure would be something to see if they did it. The NKP heritage unit the NS did sure is great looking.
