Who knows If I'll have the chance again. It was a fun chase though and I was glad I finally got to see at least one of the NS Heritage Units in person.

Photo ID: 104543 Date Shot Photo By Monday, February 17, 2014 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Hogans Alley Denver, CO 2125 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Colorado Springs (UP)/Pikes Peak (BNSF) Norfolk Southern NS 8102 is the first of the 20 heritage units that Norfolk Southern released a few years ago that I have seen. The unit came to Denver on a BNSF manifest as part of a power share. It was in town for less than 24 hours, departing south on President's Day. The Pennsylvania Railroad started in 1946 and was the largest railroad in the United States (in terms of traffic and revenue) for the first half of the 20th century. In its history, it actually had a budget larger than the US government and had a workforce of 250,000 people. In 1968, it merged with New York Central to create Penn Central. Eight years later, Penn Central became a part of Conrail. Finally, Conrail was split in 1999 with 58% going to Norfolk Southern.

The front-most unit is a Norfolk Southern SD70M-2, which don't make their way to Colorado very often. In the distance, a "Rocktober" banner is still posted on Coors Field, thanks to the Rockies fantastic performance since June.

Norfolk Southern ordered their Dash-9s from GE with 4,000 HP instead of 4,400 HP, hence the C40-9W designation instead of the typical C44-9W designation.

Why? Because it is the exact same unit on shot on the Pueblo-Provo the day before Thanksgiving! Looks like it made the round trip back to Denver from Provo.

Running on UP tracks, this westbound is being led by an NS C40-9W, a CSX SD50 and a BNSF ES44AC! It is in fact a BNSF track rights train, the MPUEPVO, headed to Provo, UT. The train is just west of Leyden. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The unit is wearing an Operation Lifesaver scheme. The text on the long hood beneath "Operation Lifesaver" reads "Saving Lives at America's Highway-Rail Crossings." The text in the circle to the right reads "25 Years, Operation Lifesaver". Red text printed on the white circle itself reads "You're Our Living Proof. 1972-1997." Only about ten such units received this special scheme. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
