Norfolk Southern's 20 Heritage Units Leading!

All 20 NS Heritage Units in one video! All leading!
For our first video of 2019, we'll look back at all 20 Norfolk Southern Heritage units. These clips were shot between 2015-2018 during various seasons here in Pennsylvania along Norfolk Southern's Harrisburg Line, Reading Line and Port Road Branch. I will put timestamps and train information further down below in the description.
I meant to upload a video like this awhile back, but the N&W took me a long time to finally catch. It is hard to believe these have been around for almost 7 years! In 2012, Norfolk Southern decided to roll out 20 heritage paint schemes on new GE ES44AC and EMD SD70ACe locomotives that commemorate the historical railroads that make up the present-day rail system. These locomotives have been popular among railfans since then.
I tried to use all original content, but a few of these catches were from the "Trains on the Norfolk Southern Harrisburg Line" series, so I apologize for the redundancy. I did touch up / remaster those clips since I first posted them. Depending on how many I catch again this year, I may make another 20 heritage units video if you like this one!

I've seen four of them - Jersey Central 1071, Nickel Plate Road 8100, Virginian 1069, and Lackawanna 1074 - in that order. Oddly enough, only the 8100 was seen on NS - leaving the ex-NKP yard in Bellevue, no less! As for the three SD70ACe's, they were all seen passing through Sterling, Ohio, on CSX trackage. I narrowly missed (by about 15 minutes) the Conrail 8098's first revenue run through my hometown of Wooster, Ohio, back on March 20, 2012. (EDIT: On August 8, 2020, I saw the Southern 8099 lead a train into Bellevue... AND I got it on video - the FIRST heritage unit recorded!)

I just recently caught the PC unit on video for the first time ever to complete my 20 for 20, so I'll need to start work on my compilation eventually, and even if that means repeating some of my old clips I've already got on here. ;-) Great stuff. By the way that Conrail shot is amazing

Since then I have seen Southern, Wabash, Illinois Interstate, The Virginian(the one I see the most, usually in Michigan or near Toledo), and the green and yellow one.
