I'm about to complete CNJ, as I recently completed S&A

[@AmtrakTBL]

Amazing how many of these shots were in perfect light. Great job.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Thank you!

[@16thaveproductions]

Awesome video!! NS train 11R(East Deerfield MA to Enola PA) has NS 8104 leading. It was reported to in Schaghticoke NY at 09:57 hrs

[@crrguy1625]

The Conrail (8098) Shot Was Beautiful! Great Work!

[@craigymac5386]

Excellent video, I'm watching this in Scotland. I love all the different paint schemes from former rail companies. This must have cost a fortune to repaint all they locomotives.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Thanks for watching! They have been painted like this for 7 years now. Some are starting to look ratty, who knows how long they may keep them around.

[@NS6711]

8099, 1067, & 1069 are repainted and pretty so far! More will be soon

[@zdthelehighlinerailfan5362]

@@NS6711... Yeah plus NS 1074 is next to be repainted as well!

[@RailfanBrandon]

Impressive to have them all and well shot! That’s a LOT of hours invested…great video.

[@nickmangona48]

How ironic is it that this video is EXACTLY twenty minutes long?

[@Noodle_Train]

One minute per heritage unit

[@kevinbaker4241]

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!)

[@JerryDoesThings_1604]

Amazing catches! So far I’ve only caught the N&W unit, as well as 5669 (Operation Lifesaver unit) and Amtrak 642 (Veterans unit).

[@Kmm0808]

This was a fantastic video! Very well edited, clips kept short and to the point. Also great videography and awesome subjects. Love the heritage units.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Thanks!

[@PennCentral-jn2ow]

THE best collage of the heritage units by far. That's the way you honor them, they always lead. They made what NS what it is today. Never forget!!

[@stephensardos6418]

I loved the Conrail scene with the Conrail blue both on the engine but also the interlocking box. Seeing the really brought be back to the good days

[@blakegross7552]

I’ve seen Erie Lackawanna, Illinois Terminal, Virginian, Erie, Central of Georgia, Original NS, Monongahela, Penn Central, Lehigh Valley, and NS 1030

[@calerail9558]

Amazing footage of these beautiful locomotives!

[@keleencarlson9440]

Love the Conrail! What pretty blue!

[@LewisMarien]

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

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

Thanks, that's one of my favorite shots too. Nice to hear you also got all 20...that PC unit is looking a little, uh, well...it resembles the Penn Central very well ;-)

[@threeoaksandastump2633]

Ironically 1073 was my 20/20 too😂

[@denault3985]

Engines of beauty and you managed to catch all 20! My luck, only 1 in three years on both the Union Pacific & BNSF in all three SoCal passes...Cajon, Tehachapi & San Timoteo.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

I guess it would be harder to see them out there. Just like it's not common to see the UP heritage or Olympic units here, although I did catch UP 2001 one time, but I have not shared that shot.

[@AGSSouthRailfanner]

I really loved the afterhorn of ES44AC 8101 Central of Georgia Heritage Unit

[@gleanerk]

Thanks for sharing! I live a mile from the original Norfolk southern rail track . It’s dead now ,tracks but no trains . Glad you have rail action so I can get my hit 😂

No problem, thanks for watching!

[@James_Lee_]

Out of all 20 heritage units, my top 3 favorites are Original NS, Central of Georgia, and Conrail.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

That's awesome, my favorite is the Reading because the tracks here are former Reading Railroad.

[@SuperDominoRailfans]

My favourite is the Virginian

I caught Lackawanna completely by accident once.

[@jacobdubielak]

I bet the Lackawanna from Norfolk southern railroad supisred you really good

[@LeeDfined]

My first was the New York Central and since it looks almost like a normal NS, I thought it odd but didnt know what I was looking at. I just thought they pulled an old engine out the mothballs Then I found out about the Heritage Units. 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. What I long to see is Conrail, the Erie and the Pennsylvanian.

[@bwood-en8by]

I have only seen Illinois terminal hoping to see more!

[@WPARailfanProductions]

I caught 1067 4005 and 8025

You forgot the Erie Lackawanna SD45-2.

I have a shot of it, but not leading. Maybe if I make another heritage units video I can include it!

[@nickmangona48]

Do you have shots of all of the DC to AC conversion locomotives? That would be a cool video also.

[@CentralPennRailProductions]

I am still working on that. Hopefully I catch more soon!

[@nickmangona48]

Theres also a Norfolk and Portsmouth belt line locomotive, although I don't know if that's a heritage. I think it's a GP38-2. And also, it's hard to tell when NS #4001 will be completely repaired. Great Video as always!

[@HighDesertRonTrainsTrucks]

Wow the New York Central and the Jersey Central I believe that was the Jersey Central that was their colors if it was that was beautiful
