During the Summer of 2013, plenty of Heritage Units showed up along the Harrisburg and Reading Lines. Seen here are various clips of Heritage Units leading or trailing, that otherwise did not make it into their own featured video.
June 25, 2013 - 16N with the Original Norfolk Southern Heritage Unit trailing slowly works its way across CP Prescott with a slow order due to heat related issues. This allowed a catch just down the road, and again at the next crossing. Upon arrival, a long 21M was already passing through.
0:00 / 3:05 - 16N - Elkhart, IN - Allentown, PA
NS ES44AC 8111
NS ES44AC 8114 (Original NS)
July 8, 2013 - Loaded Bakkan Crude Oil flies eastbound with the Savannah & Atlanta Heritage unit trailing.
5:20 - 64W - Cicero, IL (BNSF) - Westville, NJ
NS SD70ACe 1075
NS SD70ACe 1065 (Savannah & Atlanta)
July 8, 2013 - The Wabash Unit leads long and heavy mixed freight train 16N. The first sighting is in the morning along the Harrisburg Line, then a few hours later past a searchlight signal on the Reading Line.
6:45 / 9:20 - 16N - Elkhart, IN - Allentown, PA
NS SD70ACe 1070 (Wabash)
NS C40-9W 9850
NS C40-8W 8406
July 15, 2013 - While not technically a heritage unit, the Honoring Our Veterans locomotive, a brand new SD60 rebuild, trails on (you guessed it) another 16N early in the morning.
11:55 - 16N - Elkhart, IN - Allentown, PA
NS C40-9W 9171
NS SD60E 6920 (Honoring Our Veterans)
NS SD60E 6953
August 11, 2013 - The Reading Heritage locomotive trails 18N on home rails in the afternoon. The first shot is past the recently restored Reading Station in Wernersville, while the second shot is in better light on the low-grade to the Reading Line—note the former Reading signal in the background.
14:25 / 15:35 - 18N - Fostoria, OH - Doremus, NJ
NS C40-9W 9501
NS SD70ACe 1067 (Reading)
