Thanks guys, the leader on 11A today was SD40-2 #3433. It sure is nice to see PRR roaming on it's tracks again. The ghost of the PRR must of been in shock when this rolled out of the paintshop in altoona. I have another shot of this coming down the tracks right before I took this photo. Let me find it and I will post it, you get a better view of the power on hand on 11A today.

Thank you Ralph. The PRR unit is a ES44AC. Now when they do the Penn Central unit it will be a SD70ACe.

The 8102 may not be a E8A but,she still looks good in the passenger 5 striper scheme.

NS 3433 could also be considered a PRR Heritage unit, it began life as PRR 6082.

For anyone who may be interested, PRR 6082 was an SD40, it became PC 6082, then Conrail 6335. When Conrail retired it's SD40s, it was rebuilt to SD40-2 specs and became Conrail 6976. When CR was split between NS and CSXT, it became NS 3433.

The Lehigh Valley Heritage unit is completed. Probably sometime this week she will be on 11A. Hopeing for a late call time or for them to have alot of work in Altoona the morning it ships out.

I have to admit: Norfolk Southern is really doing it right with their heritage units.
