Model Railroading > CSX announced its last Heritage unit of this group

It will be a PAN AM RAILWAY loco, 1982 I think, maybe 1981.

You're a little behind. They released the engine yesterday.  #1981

Forgive me for not researching this first but are all the heritage locos samples of railroads that directly combined with CSX?  The most recent heritage loco is kind of a painful reminder of how a few of the New England railroads were dismantled, mashed together and renamed for questionable reasons.  Other New England railroad names from seemingly happier times may have been better choices but they may not fit the heritage plan criteria. I wonder if fond memories are conjured up in the minds of ex-employees, fans or Joe Public at the sight of this heritage loco or any of the other 20?

My son works in upper CSX management and collects the ScaleTrains versions.  He said hopefully they split the last six they have yet to announce because it is pretty expensive getting 5 or more in each batch.
