TAG Unit Added to the Norfolk Southern Heritage Fleet

🎉 Introducing the TAG Heritage Unit 🎉

The votes are in, and we're so excited to unveil the newest addition to our Heritage Fleet: the Tennessee, Alabama & Georgia Railway locomotive! 🚂

Watch as our talented team at the Juniata Locomotive Shop in Altoona, PA, bring this iconic predecessor railroad back to life.

Once a vital link between Chattanooga and Gadsden, the TAG Railway played a key role in moving coal, steel, and more from 1891 - 1971. Its legacy is now proudly reflected in our fleet.

A big thank you to everyone who voted and to our skilled team in Altoona for your incredible craftsmanship. What do you think? Let us know in the comments!

A few years ago I couldn’t imagine NS even repainting their heritage locomotives back into the heritage liveries, much less painting a new one to add to the fleet. I will definitely be looking for this one once it makes it down my way. Thanks, NS!

What if you guys did all four of the heritage unit choices? A modern Delaware & Hudson unit would be so cool to see on the mainline. Great work on this unit & can’t wait to see it someday!

Thank you, and honors to the ones who made this 1st Class Railroad pay off, in honor to our predecessor railways so they will never be forgotten to this day.

Probably one of my favorite heritage units now, even on an AC44

[Dynodoug]

It looks so much better when the WHOLE locomotive is painted in the heritage paint
