i have not seen a heritage unit in person on the ns yet. how many of you have seen one in person?

Not me.

im just one step above you. I saw the origial NS heritage when I was on the highway... at first thought it was the LV one

5

Conrail - once leading a train on the Fostoria distrcit, once sitting light in the Sandusky yard
N&W - leading a train though Bellevue after dark
NKP - middle unit on a train that was sitting at a signal south of Bellevue on the Sandusky district
RDG & LV - sitting at Klines Yard in Bellevue with an empty coal train

sadly I have to admit no

I have seen three.

1) NS 8098 (Conrail) on train leading 264 in Romulus, Michigan
2) NS 8114 (Norfolk Southern) as the second unit on a coke train in Wyandotte, Michigan
3) NS 8104 (Lehigh Valley) second unit on a coke train in Fostoria, Ohio

NS 8098 on 264
NS 8114 leading NS 864 and trailing on a 415 so caught it twice.
Shot the PRR on the point of a coal tied down in Toledo.

I also saw the 8114 on 864 in Monroe on accident. We were goin to downtown and heard a horn.. so we drifted over there and bam there it was. XD

Then I have seen but not shot the Pennsy unit and the NYC unit and the S&A unit because it was either at night or they were buried in their respective consists.

NS 8114 (Norfolk Southern) as the second unit on a coke train in Wyandotte, Michigan

Me too.

Never seen one, only heritage was AMTK's F40PH in Toledo.

Conrail


Lehigh Valley


(What an epic chase that was, eh MDH?)

Haven't seen any NS or Amtrak, just three of the UP units.

Seen NS 8098 (Conrail) and NS 8102 (PRR).

Saw 8098 on 264 in Allen Park, MI and NS 8102 in Toledo, OH with a Detroit Edison coal train (I'm guessing it may have been an 863?).

I saw the only one I really cared about seeing, burned out headlight and all.

None so far.

I haven't seen any NS heritage units in person. I saw UP 1982 (Mopac unit) in Nappanee in July '10, and 4 Amtrak heritage units in the past year.

Just the Southern unit for me. Caught it loading a coal train near Norton, VA back in April.

awesome stuff guys. what is the website where you can find all of the locations of the heritage units?
