Hard to believe this wasn't an April fools rumor... NS 1067 was just released from the Juniata locomotive shops in Altoona, complete with a FRESH and long overdue repaint of its original heritage scheme! 1067 was put into storage at the shops in December of 2022 and was inactive since... until it was shoved onto 22x very early this morning in Altoona. I beelined (lol pun intended) straight for the tracks the moment I heard this news (after I had confirmation that it was indeed NOT an April fools gag) Sure enough, 8:46 am, they made it into Bethlehem, PA. Truly one of the catches of all time.
The same treatment is expected to be given to 1074 and 8099.
