In 2012 between March 15th and June 27th Norfolk Southern Railway entered 20 heritage livery locomotives into service. 10 of these were built by EMD and the other 10 made by General Electric. These were all predecessor livery's of the railroads that made up the railroad. The "commemorative unit" as Norfolk Southern called them were to celebrate the railroad's 30th anniversary. It took me around 4 years to get them all, the Norfolk Western engine being my 20th. I've started the video with NS 8025 leading train 177 in Ft Wayne Indiana. This was filmed in June 2017, I had gotten this engine 2 other times but this was my first good shot. For the rest of the video I count up numerically rotating between EMD and GE models. These are just clips but the whole video's can be forund in my Heritage Units Playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfStbLtVgQN4hmtDC2dcpoJnryPGLIF63
