First run of Norfolk Southern AC44C6M Rebuilds + Veterans Locomotive in Cincinnati

Norfolk Southern 8163 leads two NS AC44C6M locomotives as well as a CN SD60 on train 116. NS 4000 and 4001 were just released from Chattanooga Tennessee a day earlier and are making their inaugural run after receiving new wide cabs and conversion from DC to AC power. They are also sporting a new blue & grey paint scheme. These former D9-40Cs were first delivered in 1995 as NS 8799 and 8879. They were spotted on New Year’s Eve 2015 in Cincinnati as they made their way to Bellevue Ohio via Cincinnati, Dayton,
