NS Heritage Unit Location Updates
Please post all updates on the locations of any of the NS Heritage Units here!
Conrail 8098 is on its first assigment, it is leading 5 other NS units on NS 578, a coal train bound for Virginia. It was past CP Mace WB on the NS Ft Wayne District at 4:50pm, it will make the turn south at Bucyrus onto the NS Sandusky District and head towards Marion, Columbus, etc. I will post updates as it heads south, and will be waiting on it in Worthington.
Also, Southern 8099 is out of the paint shops with lettering and decals completed, it is currently coupled to N&W 1776 in Chattanooga awaiting it's first assignment.

Re: NS Heritage Unit Location Updates
After arriving with NS 578, Conrail 8098 is currently leading NS 83G in Bluefield, WV. This train is destined for Roanoke, VA.
Southern 8099 was on its first revenue train, 132 Chattanooga-Knoxville, TN. It is now slated to leave Knoxville on NS 38Q which is also destined for Roanoke, VA.
Looks like NS wants these units going right to work in coal country.

Nickel Plate unit is in Altoona, although conflicting reports on whether or not it's paint is finished. Also, 8103 arrived in Altoona in primer, will be the next Heritage unit after the NKP is done.
8101 is in the shops in Chattanooga being painted into the Central of Georgia scheme.
