Norfolk Southern Launches Landmark Series: Honoring America’s Historic Rail Cities

Norfolk Southern is proud to launch the Landmark Series — a new lineup of locomotives that will operate in revenue freight service as well lead the company’s inspection trains. Each locomotive proudly carries the name of a city that has shaped America’s story and our railroad’s heritage.

“These locomotives aren’t just machines — they’re growth engines for the U.S. economy,” said Norfolk Southern Chief Operating Officer John Orr. “Each city we highlight is a center of economic activity that strengthens our network and drives commerce across the nation.”

From the craftsmanship of our Juniata team in Altoona, Pa. that produced the engines to every stripe and coat of paint, these locomotives are more than equipment, they’re rolling tributes to the communities that keep America moving forward.

The first two in the series, Birmingham and Atlanta, are now traveling our network, marking the start of a journey that celebrates connection, progress and the people who make it possible.
