UP’s 6 heritage units are a mix of the railroad’s paint schemes so 1996 for example has a Black Widow Nose and a Daylight side.

[@sernajrlouis]

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

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

[@railfan_of_wisconsin]

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

[@WindsorRailProductions]

I have seen the Canadian Pacific heritage unit #7017, truly a beautiful locomotive.

[@844SteamFan]

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.

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

[@warbird1e1]

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

[@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.

[@gamingwithlukeJToH]

"This unit is actually meant to commemorate what CN's paint scheme looked like... 5 minutes ago" ah, 5 minutes ago, that was so long ago that I can barely remember it! good job CN for even making a heritage unit for this forgotten era!

[@AussieGunzel]

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

[@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!

[@Davids_Hobbies]

I railfan NJ Transit and I've seen almost all of the heritage units. I'm only missing the Erie and Erie Lackawanna. I finally saw 4101 at my local train station last week. My top two have to be 4109 and 4101. 4101 is interesting because the livery it wears is the same as it was when NJT first got it, it then got repainted to the grey with the slanted stripes when NJT overhauled back in the 90's. I'm glad it got repainted back to the original livery. It also retains its original high mounted bell, which most got switched to be below the cab. The bell is also an actual bell, not an e-bell that NJT widely uses now. I took a video of it pulling into my local station and you can see the clapper striking the inside of the bell. The horn it has isn't the best though, I wish it had a cooler horn. My favorite NJT engine though is the Atlas locomotive 4503. I preordered the HO scale model last year and it should be coming later this year.

[@TheWinnipegRailfan]

Thanks for watching! As usual, I got some info wrong, probably missed some units, it really do be like that sometimes! I'm sorry, lol. What is your personal favorite Heritage unit? Comment below!

[@heatherjenkins1009]

I don't know why some people say that union pacific is a Overrated railroad when they had the 1st world's biggest steam locomotive in the world's biggest diesel locomotive

[@raritania7581]

NS 1700

[@boston_and_maine]

mbta's only heritage unit ever, the ex-bn gp9 no. 1921 painted and debuted in the year 1991. it was in boston and maine maroon and gold colors, the heritage unit was named "the pride of charlestown" which was named after where the former boston and maine railroad's freight yard and roundhouse was located in the city of boston. it's now currently owned under hobo railroad ownership in new hampshire, it hasn't moved ever since the hobo railroad owned it.

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

[@BobRoss-kl7oc]

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)

[@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.

[@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.

[@BNSF_8213]

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

[@JerseyRails104]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@chuckythedoll4815]

They're made so model railroaders like me, go crazy trying to collect these things. And they are up there in $$$.

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.

[@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

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.

[@bowlinerailfan]

I saw the CP 7010 heritage unit in june of last year. I wasn't expecting to see even one of CP heritage units at first because I saw it in Kennesaw Georgia on my way to Tennessee on my vacation. It was running on CSX as part of a Norfolk Southern run though. I had stopped at the museum that houses the famous US Civil War locomotive "General", and some railfans outside were clearly waiting on a train as I was starting to leave. A quick inquiry about what was going on was enough for me to stay and wait for it. And I'm glad I did. Here's the video I got of it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g52lc32Na7SkoZYsi=OK2S_sNdT3Eh6Jxk

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.
