13:58 The D&RGW actually didn’t become a part of UP (technically at all) until 1996 with SP. And that ‘technically’ is that, the D&RGW bought SP, then later bought UP, going with the more known names.

Here in Australia, we don't have heratige units like in North America, our heratige units are all original locomotives still in their Australian National schemes (please help GM2, a modified E/F loco, has been in service since 1954)

[@WindowsXP781]

You you have the ES44ACI and sd70ace in Australia

[@brucie7350]

Interesting detail I noticed was most of CSX's heritage units are numbered after the year that particular railroad started operation.

[@AussieGunzel]

VIA sorta did a heritage unit when you think about it. Lumi paying homage to the turbo train.

I love the mopac heritage unit. My first heritage I ever photographed

[@DarkpawTheWolf]

I'm pretty sure the SP paint that they used for the heritage unit was the "Daylight" livery, so that was a real paint scheme.

[@JerseyRails104]

NS also has SD45-2 1700 in Erie Lackawanna paint. It mainly stays on Conrail shared assets.

[@WindowsXP781]

Their was a derailment of the southern heritage unit a while back but I’m glad that they brought it back on track

[@sernajrlouis]

Don't forget the Texas Mexican Railway for KCS heritage units. It would be nice to see one. Great video

[@BNSFTrains10]

I Managed to catch almost all of the CN Heritage Units Caughted: 8952, 8898, 3023, 3069 and 3115 Not Caught Yet: 3008 but there were some Heritage Units involved in wrecks with them ended up being Repaired however CP 7011 after the CPKC Merger was Scrapped after a Derailement.

[@ThatColumbusRailfan]

i dont know why but i wished (for some odd reason) for trains to have "hit tallies" on the sides of the units just below the numbers, just as a show of how many incidents the unit has had since it was built. such as a car for a train v car collision, a deer for...you know, etc. no clue why. i just wanted it

[@SteveScotsman]

My local railroad in Kentucky has units painted for the UK and Cardinal sports teams and units painted to honor the U.S Veterans. The railroad is Paducah & Louisville you should do a video on them and their special unit locomotives.

[@Britannica-Productions]

The only two heritage units I’ve ever seen in my entire life were METX No.211 (CB&Q) and the Amtrak 50th Anniversary Unit. I’ve seen the former a few times and the latter only once.

[@railfan_of_wisconsin]

Both of the CN E9As have been donated to Museums. 102 went to Illinois and 103 went to Green Bay Wi.

[@KyeonTucker]

I seen a train going by but it started backing up

[@utubewatcher806]

would be nice to see a GM&O and/or ICG HU from CN or CPKC

[@O-PAC]

1:23 I didn’t know Amtrash was painting their P42s in heritage schemes. The problem with P42’s (and most other passenger diesel locomotives) is there is not enough paint on earth to make their hideous designs look good. You can paint a turd all you want, it’ll still look like a turd. Bring back the E units. Great video!

[@warbird1e1]

I'm so use to seeing these, I never thought they were special because of it 😂

[@VirtualRailfanProductions]

Nice to see my BNSF Heritage Units made into a Video, even if it was the one Screenshot I made. There was a "Freight Edition that featured all the Freight Liveries, but I'm having trouble getting the Decals the show up on the Units currently. The one you showed was part of the Passenger Pack. Also I agree with you on the BNSF thing. Why do you think I made those Units for TS Classic LOL

[@CFRTrainSpotter]

it will be a while till i get to see one of these in North America, but i've noticed some railways abroad are taking this practice up too. The Slovak Railways (ZSSK) has around five Class 350 (out of a total twenty) locomotives painted in previous paint schemes that were used from 1974 to 2019. thats just one example, i noticed it in Germany, Poland, Czechia, Austria, Indonesia, Japan, to name a few... i'd deffo like to see it more oftenly as its a piece of history on wheels essentially, its not just nice to see for railfans and nostalgics, but it certainly pays respects to its past. very good video! i subscribed.

Showing these to my non railfan friends to convince them that all trains don't look the same

[@OriginalBongoliath]

I would say they are ironically correct. Everything is basically a GEVO for freight or Siemens for passenger service. Now the 1930's-1950's, that was the real era of locomotive diversity.

[@SpokanePortlandAndSeattle4367]

Sometime in rather December or November or sometime last year, (2023), I saw the CN "The J" heritage unit (#3020) in Auburn Yard, WA.

[@ohiorailfann124]

I hope you don't get mad Winnipeg Railfann but Norfolk Southern technically has 21 heritage units. The extra unit is NS 1030. Now even though there is no special paint job it is basically considered the 30th anniversary unit. I've only seen it once but it is still cool and it was supposedly in a picture with its heritage brothers.

[@TheWinnipegRailfan]

I am SO MAD!!! just kidding, yeah I completely forgot about him, kinda skipped it cause it's not really painted in anything special like say, 1073 or something like that lol

[@JackCarsonsRailroadVideos]

1030 was short lived. Only holding numberboards 1982 & 2012. Afterwards it became a regular unit

[@Elitedummy2247]

[@Hobbytrem]

That Interstate painting scheme is so nonsense to me, but its name is logical. I like it.

[@grabasandwich]

I don't know if you have any pics or video of this unit, but I remember riding on 5313 heading west out of Winnipeg with my Dad, probably in the early 90s. He snuck me on and told me that I might have to hide in the bathroom if the trainmaster (or whatever other term he used) had to come out. I may have mentioned this before, but I'm old and forget when and where I leave these comments. The house I grew up in backed onto the CN mainline near Bournais, which I think I've seen in your videos. My Dad used to throw stuff off and grab it later. Water bottles, brooms, shovels, gloves... I always loved seeing the rail grinders doing their thing. The ditches often caught fire too, but I think that even happened from regular trains too. I often wondered how bad a derailment would be that close to our house, especially at the speeds most went by.

[@ethanlee7823]

Iowa Interstate 516 is to commemorate the company’s 30 years of service. It’s an ES44AC painted in bright rock island red and yellow with Iowa Interstate lettering.

[@patrickmartin3322]

I know it’s a Class 3, but Mass Coastal has 2 FL9s in New Haven livery

8:54 I fucking hate it when Revolution 9 Suddenly pops up in a video since I have childhood trauma from hearing this song, heck I even had some nights where I couldn’t sleep because of how scary it was.

[@armandoperez7967]

BNSF is the only class one that hasn’t done any heritage units. I really don’t believe that H3 units with stickers are heritage units.

[@armandoperez7967]

Come on Kathryn Farmer and Warren Buffet, do some heritage units, particularly a fleet of blue and yellow and red and silver Santa Fe units! Better yet, just rename yourself Santa Fe and do heritage units for every other railroad component of your system.

[@southeasternnewmexicorailf9851]

Here’s some heritage units BNSF should definitely do. Just like what he said in the video. BNSF needs to paint one of their ES44C4’s into BN Cascade Green, I would like to see them paint another GEVO in the Bluebonnet Livery. I heard some that I would be a great choice for a heritage unit. They should paint one of their AC44C4M’s into the ATSF Red and Silver. Fun fact for those of you that don’t know. BNSF’s fleet of 20 AC44C4M’s are actually rebuilt versions of some their older Dash 9 locomotives that were inherited from the Santa Fe Railway. If they did that. I would love it.

[@NS8101PROD]

Oh yeah, I realized just now. Where’s that coca-Cola train?

[@TheWinnipegRailfan]

The Amtrak ACS-64? they probably drank it, lol

[@anthonydrawsome3648]

Unpopular opinion: the UP steam helpers should be classified as heritage units, engines like SD70Ace #8444 or SD70Mac #4015 technically fit the bil for heritage units, being omages to the older era of railroading being there to show everyone what the work of the men and women at ALCO could make.

[@TheSoutheastTexasRailfan]

I think Norfolk Southern enter Penn Central is emerging

[@robertadams6606]

NS also has special paint schemes for their AC4400C6M A/C to D/C OR WHAT EVER I get them mixed up. Plus we have 911s, Law Enforcement, etc.

my dad used to work for BNSF and he and a couple others pitched the idea to the ceo or whoever to do heritage units. they got people who were willing to paint it for free and they had the paint schemes and everything. they still turned it down and told them to never bring this up to them again
