I was on the WHIO website and found a video of a train taking down power lines in Springfield. The interesting part of the video wasn't the train taking out the power lines, but that the Pennsy heritage unit was leading. The video gives the full backstory as to why the power lines were hit.

I feel like almost every heritage unit has been involved in some sort of accident, or is on a train that had one

I would bet that you could remove the word "heritage" from your sentence and still be correct. Locomotives have a long life, travel a lot of miles and are in situations that could quickly and simply lead to an accident multiple times per trip. I suggest that we notice the heritage units because they are distinctive. We may remember that locomotive XXX 0000 was leading during a particular event. Do we know what the trailing units were?
