Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

My entry is of a 6-car Comeng set passing through the Bay Street level crossing in Brighton, Victoria.

Just gonna throw this in really quickly: NS 911 leading NS 117 out at Old Highway 20 here in Huntsville on 5-22-16:

Also, I never noticed the engineer sticking their hand out the window until now.

I took this at the same time I was filming, ironically the video camera took the better quality picture haha.

NS 911 is not a heritage unit, jsyk.

Are you sure about that? Don't you remember the First Responders Railroad that Norfolk Southern took over?

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.

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.
