It does happened occasionally when power sharing is happening. I was lucky enough to catch the Savannah and Atlanta heritage unit, sitting amongst a bevy of other units near the BNSF engine shop. This is the first NS heritage unit I have actually shot in 11 years! The unit came in on the Valmy, NV bound coal load, but was removed for fueling. It's possible it could be added to the train for the trip west to Nevada. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
