Heritage Unit
As part of the 30th anniversary of Norfolk Southern being formed, NS decided to paint 20 new locomotives into the paint scheme of predecessor railroads. NS #8098, a GE ES44AC, was painted into the standard Conrail colors, with Conrail blue and the can opener logo. It was the first heritage unit released, on March 15, 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words heritage and/or unit:
“It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.””
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“During the Suffragette revolt of 1913 I ... [urged] that what was needed was not the vote, but a constitutional amendment enacting that all representative bodies shall consist of women and men in equal numbers, whether elected or nominated or coopted or registered or picked up in the street like a coroner’s jury. In the case of elected bodies the only way of effecting this is by the Coupled Vote. The representative unit must not be a man or a woman but a man and a woman.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
