Norfolk Southern Heritage Units.

Nice shots as always Bobby!!!

My dream would be to see the DL&W unit coupled to the CNJ unit(whenever they are released) to be on the point of a 13T/12T train on the Sunbury Line!!!!

NS has added Monongahela to the heritage list:

still lack of reports !!! I wouldnt asked that question if there's plenty of report of whereabout of each one.... :D

As luck would have it...a chance SIGHTING!!

I was hanging outside yesterday around 4:30 pm at London Bridge Toys in Emmaus, PA, chatting with the owner when we heard the sound of an approching eastbound job. The store is on South 3rd Street about 20 yards from the tracks so it's a great train watching location.

We about fell off the porch when we saw that the lead loco was the 8102 in full tuscan red PRR livery!! It was an awesome sight although neither of us had a camera handy.

Coincidentially I was there picking up a couple of Z scale PRR hoppers so I figure I may have to go back and see what he has in Z scale Reading & LV rolling stock.

Great. At this rate they will have one for the Camden & Amboy.

NS claims the PRR unit will be in Chicago for Nat'l Train day.

From the Toledo Blade:

Northwood police presumably are accustomed to seeing railroad fans loitering near Wales and Drouillard roads, close to the Vickers Crossing junction, but the legions who turned out that day to see the Pennsylvania engine were enough to prompt one patrol officer to inquire if something special was coming. The response was simple: a finger-point down the track as the coal train eased through a siding while high-priority container trains sailed by on the main tracks.

How soon is The Monongahela RR due?

Mr.S

The Conrail unit has suffered what is being called a crankcase failure. It is being sent to Roanoke for warranty inspection/repair.

S&A unit is completed... I guess earlier then had recently expected!!

I have added an NS Heritage Locomotives feature to my NSDash9.com website. This feature highlights the background of the heritage locomotive program, lists the roster information, and has a photo page for each unit.

I think the S&A unit looks nice, but still just a Southern Railway scheme. The original S&A scheme is nothing spectacular, but would have been more of an historical application and certainly more unusual. One of the few schemes not from the EMD design bureau.

I think this program is great! These locomotives look amazing in the heritage colors, It sure adds a nice touch to the railroad. There is a nice "what could have been" as these engines traverse their native routes.
I'm glad NS has done this. It's a class act for a class 1
I do hope the neighbors (CSX) jump on the bandwagon..... B&O-C&O-ACL-SAL-L&N-NH- another NYC and the list goes on.
