What would be even nicer, if it was Omaha orange and Pullman green, with a GN emblem on the nose!!:teeth:
NS OCS Locs John, The NS business train is pulled by an F9 A-B-B-A combo.

Thanks Dan. I never could tell the differences. It would be nice if somebody made a NS office special. I am not a fan of NS, but I would get one anyway.
John, In general, the EMD F Units are just under 51' in length and have 2 axle trucks. The E units are over 70' long with 3 axle trucks. The Es were designed for passenger the Fs were designed for freight, but many saw passenger service. Dan S.
