MTA Metro-North Railroad has rebranded a third locomotive with special colors and designs as a Heritage Series to highlight the railroad's 40 years of service.

Crews at Metro-North’s shop in North White Plains, New York, recently applied a vinyl wrap to Metro-North’s locomotive No. 211. The wrap pays tribute to New York Central, the predecessor railroad that operated on the Hudson and Harlem lines. The train debuted Nov. 14 on the Hudson Line, departing Croton-Harmon Station at 7:31 a.m., and arriving at Grand Central Terminal at 8:26 a.m.

"Rail enthusiasts around the region are excited about the launch of this latest Heritage locomotive, and the first run will be on one of New York Central’s original routes, making for an even more scenic morning ride down the Hudson," said Metro-North Railroad President Catherine Rinaldi in a press release.

Additional locomotives will be wrapped in the Heritage designs of predecessor railroads.
