On November 29th, I saw on Heritageunits.com that Union Pacific #1988, the MKT or Katy heritage unit, was trailing on NS empty coal train 553 moving south down the Mon Line. My dad and I made our way to the railroad crossing in Duquesne, PA to catch the train. We caught it and its colorful consist. The leading unit was NS #7020, the newest SD60E at the time, followed by an ex-UP SD90MAC and the Katy unit, our first sighting of a UP heritage unit. See the pictures and video below. Due to the winter weather, the skies were rather overcast. -Charlie

I barely missed seeing this unit earlier in the day in Berea, OH. We got to the tracks and saw the end of the coal train going by, and we got the news that we'd missed it from another railfan there. Nice catch!
