As you know I've been on the hunt to catch the NS Heritage units. I'm sure eventually I will see them all, but my most prized to get, my Unicorn so to speak, has always been NS8098. Conrail, Ol Blue him self, well I had gotten word that it was in Conway PA and may be there a while, so I ran in told the wife hop in the car and off we went on a 3 hour road trip to see Ol Blue, and was not disappointed. I basked in its glory till they blocked it off from view. one of the yard workers had said it is not leaving till later that night as a DPU. so we went and explored the area got a bite to eat and found a some what decent lit spot to watch it go by, then headed home. The next morning I awoke to find out it was going to be headed past my way in a day or two. and sure enough it did, and i just laughed thinking i just had to wait and i wouldn't of had to go to Pennsylvania, but it was a great day and got out of the house for a bit. When it did show up here I got some great footage working the Watkins yard, so thats a video for another day, so stay tuned for Heritage catch 7.2. sure hope you enjoyed the video, if ya did please like and subscribe. I sure would appreciate it. thank you.....Pappy
