Eastern Railroad Discussion > 1st NS Heritage Unit? Need Confirmation...Date: 03/15/12 09:19 1st NS Heritage Unit? Need Confirmation... Author: Funnelcam Sent by a friend, not sure of the origin nor the authenticity. Does anyone have any solid info that this is indeed the actual heritage unit? (Yes it's obscured, however I don't think it's photoshopped...)

NSTopHat Date: 03/15/12 09:27 Re: 1st NS Heritage Unit? Need Confirmation... Author: FrontRangeTrains This is not photoshopped, it's the actual heritage unit that was released at Altoona today. The Southern unit should be done next week.

Any special numbering scheme for the heritage units? Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/15/12 12:26 by gjc. Date: 03/15/12 10:17 Re: 1st NS Heritage Unit? Need Confirmation... Author: joeygooganelli And so it begins. Good luck hunting boys.

Date: 03/15/12 10:37 Re: 1st NS Heritage Unit? Need Confirmation... Author: SD70M Is that the remains of 5541 in the foreground?
Date: 03/15/12 10:50 Re: 1st NS Heritage Unit? Need Confirmation... Author: CR6444 It's Altoona.. The mainline is out front.. The paint shop is behind the heritage unit.. Looks like its been outside to let it dry..

Based on where it is sitting, it looks like it is ready for pickup.....JBS outshops usually head West on the Altoona-Conway 11A symbol....I wonder if it may have already gone out....Dave W.

My son suggested to CSX sometime ago that they do some heritage paint schemes. No answer back from them. Think of the paint schemes they could do--wow!
--Steve in Dallas Date: 03/15/12 12:45 Re: 1st NS Heritage Unit? Need Confirmation... Author: DoctorThunder So glad they went this route instead of like UP.
So classy and not gaudy like the UP jobs. Looks just like the C40-8W's running all around when I was 15. Date: 03/15/12 13:49 Re: 1st NS Heritage Unit? Need Confirmation... Author: Bath_wildcat That is the Conrail heritage unit, and the rustbucket at the lower left is the remains of NS 5531. Now to chase this one with Dad.
Date: 03/15/12 14:04 Re: 1st NS Heritage Unit? Need Confirmation... Author: bioyans Word has it NS has added Penn Central back to the lineup, and it will become the 19th heritage unit. Still hearing rumors there may be more.
Date: 03/15/12 14:31 Re: 1st NS Heritage Unit? Need Confirmation... Author: NSHorseheadSD70 It's back. It's on NS's list of heritage units.

Date: 03/15/12 15:00 Re: 1st NS Heritage Unit? Need Confirmation... Author: tihess Hopefully NS will go the route of CSX and use their AC units on all trains... Otherwise I may never see one in Northern Indiana... The Chicago Line rarely sees them
