Some people use heritage unit as a "catch-all" for any special engine, like NS 911, the Amtrak Big Game Day engine, NS 1030, and NS 1111.
They/Them for me, please.

Some people do but it doesn't really make any sense because those engines have nothing to do with heritage in the way it is used in 'Heritage Unit'.

Yea. Though I think it's due to HeritageUnits.com tracking all of the special engines and engines in old paint schemes, even though they aren't Heritage Units.
They/Them for me, please.
