HEADS UP: Heritage Units on NS Southern Tier

The Interstate unit is the 3rd of 3 locos on NS 36T today. The train passed CP Cam about an hour ago, as per a FB report.

The Interstate unit is the 3rd unit of 3 on NS 37T today. The train was spotted in Binghamton a short time ago, with a bright red ex-Indiana RR unit leading.

The Virginian unit is trailing on NS 28N this evening. Number 1069 came thru Elmira around mid-afternoon, and was spotted in Binghamton shortly before dark.

The HU website reported the Virginian unit was leading NS 287 at Eagle Bridge shortly after 4 Pm yesterday. The train usually heads west in the Tier after sunrise. Does anyone know whether #1069 is west of Binghamton yet?

Photo today by John Kucko. Brave soul out in 10 degree weather to take train pics!

The Virginian unit also led NS 310 this morning- john Kucko caught #1069 at Letchworth again!

According to a trusted source, the Virginian unit is leading NS H06 tonight!

The Virginian unit is trailing on NS H06 tonight. Why? The power for H06 is usually shared with NS H85, which can sometimes has to navigate the wyes in Painted Post and/or Gang Mills. Number 1069 was on NS H85 for interchange with the B&H today.

Also NS #911 is trailing on NS 28N tonight, and was spotted in northeastern Ohio nearly 90 minutes ago. The First Responders unit should be on the Tier tomorrow.

No, Matt, you got it wrong. They just turned it so you could get pics of it as the leading unit southbound back to Gang Mills. Wasn't that nice of them?

That was swell of them! How did NS know I'd love to get some blurry photos in the middle of the night? lol

P.S. And miss work, too!

The Virginian unit was on NS H85 again today for the interchange with the B&H in Painted Post.

The Virginian unit is trailing again NS H06 tonight.

Number 1069 is in Geneva right now.

Power for GS-1 in the morning?

We can dream, right? Of course, FGLK had heritage units before heritage was cool.
