NB Southern's own locomotives are painted in an attractive green with yellow trim. The former leased locomotives were painted in a variety of colours, usually from the previous owner's colour scheme.

Railfanning

Saint John provides several opportunities for railfanning the NB Southern. There is a bridge overlooking the eastern entrance to their yard; one can see the rolling stock and (in the distance) the engine house. You can also see trains exiting the western entrance. During the day, one can occasionally see a train running between NB Southern's yard and CN's Island Yard.

McAdam also provides opportunities to view NB Southern action, as it is an interchange point with the Eastern Maine.
