Beautiful photo Josh of a very beautiful unit - unfortunately I have to point out to many railfans - this is NOT a Heritage unit. I know of no previous railroad throughout History named the "Honoring First Responders Railroad"! EMD SD70ACe Virginian Railway locomotive No. 1069 is a Heritage unit, GE ES44AC Southern Railway No. 8099 is a Heritage unit...Honoring First Responders is NOT a Heritage unit people...! Sorry if it seems like I'm "ranting" - but it just bothers me that this unit and the "Honoring Our Veterans" unit are called "Heritage units" by railfans and foamers. Same is true for the Union Pacific Winter Olympic units Nos. 2001 & 2002, they are not heritage units in that they do not represent a "Fallen Flag" railroad or railroad company! This unit is an "HONOR" unit - not Heritage. Thank you all for being kind enough to allow me to make these differences clear.
