Locomotives Sport New Logo

A Dash 9 locomotive displays Norfolk Southern's recently updated logo, which includes an outline of the Thoroughbred's head as a key component.

New and repainted NS locomotives will feature the "soaring" logo, along with a new paint scheme that includes a white number board and a reflective stripe circling the frame. NS has a fleet of some 3,400 locomotives. The Juniata Locomotive Shop in Altoona, Pa., will paint 200 this year with the new logo.

The soaring logo complements the original NS signature (five slanted speed lines merging into the slanted NS initials), which first appeared shortly after Norfolk Southern's creation in 1982.
