Remarks & Notes

With newly rebuilt AC44C6M locomotives being added to the roster with numbers in the 4000 series, the Norfolk Southern Executive units had to be renumbered and repainted. Here, in Altoona, the F Units lead their first train since the renumbering and round the Horseshoe Curve. The train is heading to the Loop in Gallitzin, PA in order to be spun around on its way to the Masters Golf Tournament.
