HERITAGE UNITS PT2

Last week saw the introduction of two of the AP&W's Heritage units. More...

Three Heritage units are sitting in the yard; including two from NS!

1960 is  the lead unit and the oldest of the three, as well as the only GE unit.

NS 1074 is the second unit, painted in Delaware, Lackawanna & Western colors.

NS 1068 is the Erie-painted unit. Both the NS engines are EMD SD70ACe's built in 2012 to celebrate NS' 30th anniversary; NS is three years older than the AP&W!

Seen as the America units roll past, these three engines represent a "family photo" of sorts: while from two different railroads, they represent the proper lineage; Erie + Lackawanna = Erie Lackawanna! Add in the America units, with their Bicentennial-themed paint scheme, and it comes full circle; in 1976 the Erie Lackawanna itself disappeared into Conrail!
