Another Iteration of the NS ‘Mane’ Livery

Norfolk Southern has another version of the “mane” livery that it is applying to rebuilt DC to AC conversion locomotives.

Known as the “Roanoke prototype, the difference between Mane 1 and Mane 2 is that the latter has Tuscan red accent striping along the simulated flying horse mane.

The scheme has been applied to ACMC6M No. 4000, which was originally standard cab D9-40C No. 8789.

The rebuilding took place in the Juniata Shops in Altoona, Pennsylvania, which also rebuilt and applied the Mane 1 livery to DC to AC conversion unit No. 4004.
