NS Heritage Family Portrait: Spencer, NC

[@goodolebb2994]

WOW .... DOUBLE WOW ...... NOOOO .... TRIPLE WOW .... This is the first time I ever saw this ... and DAMN ! ! ! ! ! .. I'm 68 years old and have loved trains all my life! Even now, I live only 2 blocks from the NS main lines, and watch 'em every day while i'm walkin round the yard! Looking at these beautiful Heritage Units brings back many, many, many memories ...... I watched many of these road names pass by over the years !!!! i'm thrilled to have found this video! Thank you so much for sharing it with the world!

[@LaneMphoto09]

I’ve never seen one of these but which ever one I see first will be my favorite

[@trussell8510]

Grew up with the Wabash running past my house when i was a kid in St. Louis. Beautiful colors on their locos, they will always be my favorite.

[@PennCentral-jn2ow]

I'm overwhelmingly awestruck; love em all especially the Penn Central. Grew up.watching them. Love live the Penn Central!!!!!

[@Crookedriverandeasternrr]

Very awesome that NS honors their fallen flags. If only my favorite road (CSX) would truly honor theirs. How cool would it be to see a chessie riding the rails again!👍😃

[@rollinwithunclepete824]

I like that every loco got its moment in the "spotlight" with a full rotation on the turntable

[@steviedee71]

Wow all of them are awesome but 1066 NYC is my favourite just a gorgeous locomotive.

[@rileycpo]

There's my NYC AND Conrail. My father was a Yard Master in Rochester, NY. He loved the NYC System.

[@bubbabubba2013]

I was at the Transportation museum just last month, no heritage units were there, but the 611 was and she was getting a face lift and didn't look like her usual pretty self. The Southern RR 200,000th PS 50' boxcar was looking great after her paint job. The original blue/yellow/green wave pattern looked awesome, can't wait to see it finished.

[@bkriegel95]

8099 is the first NS Heritage locomotive I've seen in person. Boy do I sure miss her. I wish she would make another appearance back here in Minnesota.

[@brycesherman8803]

+bkriegel95: they should come here more often then never. I did see UP 1995 last week in St. Paul though! My first heritage unit

[@nate4745]

Brings a tear to the eye. Beautiful machines.

[@shariys1]

Wow, what a fashion show! They're all so beautifully cared for. Love that Wabash! That NYC unit is drop dead gorgeous!

[@21stCenturyLtd]

Thanks! I agree, NS did a stellar job on all 20 engines

[@21stCenturyLtd]

Thanks Adam! That's what I was going for, glad you liked it!

[@KBuckyRailVideo]

Great job Kevin! I didn't realize you were fortunate enough to have gone down there. Nice camera work and nice editing!

[@claireworley7572]

I love trains so much

[@joem314]

18:50 YES! Beautiful, Stunning, Amazing!

[@thenorgalofthehills5688]

I was there on July 3rd. It was very hot. But I had a great time.

[@kelvintorrence5994]

All Sharp units love the paint jobs great work.

[@PennCentral-jn2ow]

To add, you see em now compared to how immaculate they are on here, you just get angry and get misty eyed. Missing paint, sludgy, sooty, lack of its original lustre; they all need to get washed and repainted to give them back their dignity and sense of pride. 8 years? It's now time to do just that NS, don't you think? That's why we as railfans spend hours and time chasing them. They deserve and demand our respect

[@chibang492]

I wish CSX would do what NF Southern has done bringing back the old heritage flags. Would be great to see the old Chessie System, B&O, C&O, L&N, WM, and Seaboard System flags on line again, but sadly i doubt CSX is interested in doing this. I give major props to Notfolk Southern for the gesture. Norfolk Southern is a Very classy railroad.

[@NorcalValleyRailfan]

CSX are now having heritage units

[@jamesfaucette9764]

I like those heritage locomotives of Norfolk southern.

[@drewhowe4277]

NYC unit is definitely my favorite, along w/ Reading & IT.

[@SJRailroader31]

Awesome! The CNJ and PC units are my favs!

[@geoffreynovini3976]

Wow! that is a fine set of locomotives!. I am into British locomotives and only just started getting into US locomotives. All of them are great!. The first US locomotive I have is a Norfolk Southern diesel electric.

[@jslasher1]

Kudos to NS for the heritage units.

[@nickltrains6952]

Awesome video. All the engines color schemes look great. I have on my train layout GP-7 NY Central with the lightning color scheme and a Norfolk Southern with there color scheme. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from New Jersey

[@Davidlabar4]

The Lackawanna unit is pretty just like EL in latter days, big EMD power.....

[@csu1226]

Nice video and the Reading Lines heritage unit sure did look nice!

[@21stCenturyLtd]

Thanks! I like the RDG also. The shades of yellow and green they used on it look real sharp.

[@kcgrailgilbert8466]

Like all those NS heritage units it's epic I'm a big fan of NS locomotives

[@TheDuke6100]

Great videos great New York Central and Pennsylvania and Lackawanna!!!

[@21stCenturyLtd]

Thanks! I think I'd have to say that one is my favorite as well

[@NJT4211]

Too bad they don't look this shiny anymore! Nice video

[@westep4273]

I didn't even know about this I missed an opportunity to see some neat stuff

[@FrasierMedia]

Fantastic Video! I must say, there isn't one that stands out the most to me or is my favorite because they are all amazing. Hope you enjoyed the event despite the heat!

[@21stCenturyLtd]

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

[@Morbid_Railfan]

21st Century Limited the savanna and Atlanta unit once hit a semi

[@21stCenturyLtd]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

[@21stCenturyLtd]

Thanks! The keyword there is fortunate, I'm so happy I got to go. I didn't even know that I was until the day before (as I explained in the description.) I'm sure glad I got to be there for this

[@herinol]

Wow there is a lot of comments with “this is my baby” but any ways 28:23 they are my family.

[@FreihEitner]

Living on the west coast (and born in the 70s) I never knew most of these roads, but these heritage units show a great love and accurate detail for NS's ancestry. But did I miss something -- the 3 which ended up between the Conrail and the Savannah & Atlanta never went on the turntable and I can't ID them by their schemes.

[@MidnightRailfan]

If CSX were to do this they could easily do 20+ HU's. One can dream. I've noticed all these years later that the SD70ACe's look a lot more worn down than the ES44AC's. I guess maybe a difference in paint

[@chrisbailey9331]

Absolutely brilliant video, it’s only recently that I discovered that NS had repainted so many locomotives; we have a few special liveried locomotives here in the UK but nothing on this scale! Just like playing trains, but on a grand scale 👍🏻🚂😁

[@haydendraycott7897]

Everytime I see videos and pics of these locos I'm always breathtaken at how incredibly awesome they look, NS really did them proud! Frustrating though as I have yet to actually see any in person, not to mention the line nearest where I live is the old B&O Metropolitan Branch, CSX needs to seriously get with the program.

[@olentangyriver1191]

This is beautiful. Thanks so much

[@rickygarcia7400]

I live in central Washington state I was fortunate to see the southern, pen central and central of Georgia. still have have 17 to go yet(:

[@RailStalkerAdventures]

All of those rigs are so awesome looking and I love them all and even caught some through my area as they were pulling into the rail yard and heading out of there. Awesome video as always and I am a fan for life, guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have some of these heritage units in N Scale such as the Penn Central #1073, Central of Georgia #8101 and the Savannah & Atlanta #1065 and I want to collect all the NS Heritage Units soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@21stCenturyLtd]

Thank you very much!

[@KCUnionStationTrains]

My favorite NS heritage unit 1069!

[@johnoakes4814]

Mine Is 8102, The Pennsylvania Railroad Unit. :)

[@KCUnionStationTrains]

@@johnoakes4814 nice!

[@johnoakes4814]

Lehigh valley Comes in close second.

[@KCUnionStationTrains]

@@johnoakes4814 8105 is my 2nd favorite unit.

[@johnoakes4814]

Virginian unit in 3rd for me

[@alexh6131]

Dang after watching this video I realize how accurate Lionel's es44acs are!

[@RailfanAndrew]

[@rjbtv2025]

Beautiful

[@rgmrails]

Life goals are complete

[@Construction_King]

Nice video! That ERIE unit is my favorite.

[@21stCenturyLtd]

Thanks John!

[@gusbunger6494]

I wish bnsf would have heritage locomotives like these

[@PennRailVideos]

Kevin this video is amazing. Like 100% amazing. I feel like I'm there, when I couldn't be. Really awesome job man.

[@David-yf5fo]

This public relations exercise is likely a small drop in the bucket compared to keeping the 1218 and 611 operational. A little extra spent in the paint shop and everyone has good feelings toward the company. Smart move.

[@21stCenturyLtd]

I like the CNJ too but PC?? I think you're alone on that one! haha Glad you like the video!

[@britainluver431]

I saw the Erie Heritage locomotive in a train going down San Timoteo Canyon.

[@nicktackett2411]

I seen the New York Central, when I saw it I was like holly crap!!!!!

[@ronniefarnsworth8224]

Excellent - - -1st Rate !!!!!!!!!! Now come on BNSF and CSX now it is you turn to show this kind of pride and love for the past , you all have plenty of money to do the same thing ! : )

[@MattS_Filmography]

I agree, but CSX didn't buy a railroad yet, And bnsf formed when BN and Santa Fe railroad merged together, Therfore, Bnsf didn't buy BN And Santa Fe. But still, I agree with you.

[@ronniefarnsworth8224]

+Matthew Starks Yes the Marketing would be great for them and of course great for us railfans ! I hope they get that same young guy that designed for NS he is a railfan !!! Trians mag put a issue out on his work and the engines here the link from Amazon ... www.amazon.com/Norfolk-Southerns-HERITAGE-Magazine-Special/dp/B00A3EWS76/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1462685988&sr=1-1&keywords=trains+magazine+heritage+special+norfolk+southern Enjoy. : )

[@toddbehrends1373]

I agree. BNSF needs to get on board and paint some of their units in Heritage colors. I think that one of these big units would look super in the Chinese Red and silver of the old "Burlington!

[@KCUnionStationTrains]

Ronnie Farnsworth Warren Buffett is not going to spend the money

[@shariys1]

Yeah, I wanna know why CSX couldn't have done this with their old C&O, B&O, Chessie, Seaboard units ... they just slapped that blue and yellow and gray paint all over everything. You painted over your history, schmucks!

[@indie1361]

Fantastic job!

[@B422TMack]

Nice Video I really enjoy it . Makes me wish NS Bought the IC Back in 2001 when CN Did & then maybe we would still see the IC & GM&O As heritage units . Its been awhile since ive seen a IC Paint scheme on a CN Line here in my neck of the woods . Makes me wonder if they are slowly being repainted .

[@dsmith9964]

A few of the old Illinois Central units are emblazoned with the PAL Paducah & Louisville logo.

[@fatherandson1503]

locomotivenya bagus dan sangat rapi terawat..from railfan jakarta indonesian

[@ericceulemans1532]

I like this american trains . greetz from belgium

[@greatlakesrailfan586]

Nice video! 7:52 My god pulled in!!

[@TimWhiteRailProductions]

Cool I love all of them but my number one favorite is PRR NS8102

[@jmream2618]

Tim WhiteRailProductions there's one heritage unit missing where's the Norfolk & Southern heritage unit at

[@zanemixproductions5542]

6:20 is my idol

[@kennethdavis8892]

All beautiful trains, especially since I live in Pennsylvania, but I wish they would do a Delaware & Hudson!

[@MrJTPEPPER]

That was Beautiful..

[@BrunoViajanteFLA]

MAGNIFIC!!!!!!

[@centralmarylandrailfan7887]

23:25. There she is!

[@railfan830]

My favorite is the central of Georgia

[@auxityne]

Many years later, CSX and BNSF are still just like "We got some stickers!"

[@gusbunger6494]

😂

[@csxrailfanners3000]

I just caught the NYC yesterday in Toledo, Ohio!

[@narratedtrainsbylogan]

Favorites gotta be 8101 and 1071, I can’t choose!

[@21stCenturyLtd]

Thank you!

[@shinlanten]

Wish they had all been SD70ACe locomotives ;-)

[@David-yf5fo]

Apparently N&S has administered some diversity training.

[@bigunatwork]

Just saw Nickel Plate Road in front of Walkertown auto yard today!!! 10/26/2013

[@GUSTAVTIME]

Good video!

[@trevorthefilthyrat3742]

The wrath of Conrail

[@ambersignal]

great video, NKP and Virginian are my faves

[@haydendraycott7897]

On another note everyone's top 5? All are stellar but NYC, Conrail, Virginian, Jersey Central and Illinois Terminal do it the most for me

[@Jerseyboy70TrainProductions]

Awesome Video This Put me in a Good Mood For The Day!

[@musicandtrains]

Great video. Thanks for your effort.

[@adamc1966]

Great video. Just like being there 👍

[@bladerjefu1728]

This locomotives are to pay tribute for those railroads that are long hone

[@jonfromstearns]

I grew up watching Southern. I live along the Second District of the CNO&TP in Kentucky. I’m kinda biased towards the 8099. I was heartbroken to see her damaged in PA a few weeks back.

[@mexicano4287]

I miss the sd70ace # 1982, I think that is brought in Mexico greetings from Mexico :)

[@sk8artz]

great video!

[@Trainlover4472]

18:57 MY BABY!

[@bimoputerosantosobimorf3412]

Nice I,love this video

[@jonrussell5788]

Love these NS HUs

[@rileycpo]

It has to cost a small fortune to restore and maintain these works of American Art! Kinda fitting they did that in order NYC, P.A, Penn Central. But they should have done Conrail last.

[@erincole1038]

I’m going to probably see 1067 today! Hehe, I saw you 1071 and 1073.

[@zackbovitz1484]

The Conrail is my favorite

[@Superseanbarry]

Great job!! :D
