Reports on TrainOrders.com indicate that Norfolk Southern has acquired the four RPCX F-units formerly used on dinner trains in the St. Louis area, possibly for executive/business train duty ("Office Car Special" in Conrail terminology): RPCX F9PH 1010 = former RPCX 101/MARC 81/MDOT 7181/MK F7A 4580/B&O 4580/B&O 937 RPCX F9PH 1020 = former RPCX 102/MARC 85/MDOT 7185/MK F7A 4557/B&O 4557:2/B&O 4590:1/B&O 947 RPCX F7B 2010 = RPCX 201/CNW 410:4/CNW 317/CNW 113D/CGW 113D RPCX F7B 2020 = RPCX 202/CNW 411:3/CNW 318/CNW 114B/CGW 114B http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?2,1265220

Further reports at both TrainOrders and the link provided by Pollard indicate that NS may have purchased the NYS&W ex-Metra/BN E8/E9 duo that NYS&W acquired some time ago but have been rumored to be hangar queens ever since. (Translation: It's being reported as "fact" from sources I don't know.)

It is my understanding that the F units will be painted black and white with gold accents similar to but not a copy of the Southern's scheme. They are in Altoona for their overhaul/mechanical work and then paint. NS did not purchase the NYSW E units.
