A stranger in town. On 4/24/03, NS SD40-2
#3329 painted in Maersk Sealand livery, awaits assignment on track 29 at CN's Mac Yrd diesel shop.

History: Originally built as Conrail #6358 in 1977, it was later acquired by Norfolk Southern. 
The Paint Job: Painted in a striking light blue and white Maersk Sealand scheme in 2002. 
Purpose: It was painted for a promotional campaign and grand opening of a new Maersk facility on Terminal Island, California, as well as to celebrate railway/shipping partnerships following the enlargement of tunnels for doublestack containers. 
Current Status: It has since been retired from its Maersk livery and repainted into standard Norfolk Southern "Horse Head" black. 
I think a trip through the locomotive wash track is in order.
