Today my dad and I recieved word that NS #1067, the Reading Heritage loco, would be traveling from Baltimore, MD to Shire Oaks Yard on a train of empty hoppers numbered train 591. Most coal trains go on the Conemaugh line but 591 happens to run on the main. I used http://www.heritageunits.com/ to track it where people can report when they see the heritage units. After lunch we headed out to Manor, PA with hopes of catching it. Sure enough it came through! Here are some pictures.

I am a long time railroader (38 years) living in N. Huntindon. I train people all over the world on locomotive and train equipment. One student headed me to your site. Very impressive, would love to see it for real. Good pictures. I produce manuals with rail pictures and apreciate new and unique photos.
