IF YOU SEE THIS, THE DIRECT SEQUEL TO THIS VIDEO IS OUT NOWW!!!!! myself along with a few other swag Train youtubers ranked the units in this video on a tier list!
13:58 The D&RGW actually didn’t become a part of UP (technically at all) until 1996 with SP. And that ‘technically’ is that, the D&RGW bought SP, then later bought UP, going with the more known names.
Here in Australia, we don't have heratige units like in North America, our heratige units are all original locomotives still in their Australian National schemes (please help GM2, a modified E/F loco, has been in service since 1954)
1:23 I didn’t know Amtrash was painting their P42s in heritage schemes. The problem with P42’s (and most other passenger diesel locomotives) is there is not enough paint on earth to make their hideous designs look good. You can paint a turd all you want, it’ll still look like a turd. Bring back the E units. Great video!
i dont know why but i wished (for some odd reason) for trains to have "hit tallies" on the sides of the units just below the numbers, just as a show of how many incidents the unit has had since it was built. such as a car for a train v car collision, a deer for...you know, etc. no clue why. i just wanted it
Thanks for watching! As usual, I got some info wrong, probably missed some units, it really do be like that sometimes! I'm sorry, lol. What is your personal favorite Heritage unit? Comment below!
I don't know why some people say that union pacific is a Overrated railroad when they had the 1st world's biggest steam locomotive in the world's biggest diesel locomotive
mbta's only heritage unit ever, the ex-bn gp9 no. 1921 painted and debuted in the year 1991. it was in boston and maine maroon and gold colors, the heritage unit was named "the pride of charlestown" which was named after where the former boston and maine railroad's freight yard and roundhouse was located in the city of boston. it's now currently owned under hobo railroad ownership in new hampshire, it hasn't moved ever since the hobo railroad owned it.
I Managed to catch almost all of the CN Heritage Units Caughted: 8952, 8898, 3023, 3069 and 3115 Not Caught Yet: 3008 but there were some Heritage Units involved in wrecks with them ended up being Repaired however CP 7011 after the CPKC Merger was Scrapped after a Derailement.
Nice to see my BNSF Heritage Units made into a Video, even if it was the one Screenshot I made. There was a "Freight Edition that featured all the Freight Liveries, but I'm having trouble getting the Decals the show up on the Units currently. The one you showed was part of the Passenger Pack. Also I agree with you on the BNSF thing. Why do you think I made those Units for TS Classic LOL
The only two heritage units I’ve ever seen in my entire life were METX No.211 (CB&Q) and the Amtrak 50th Anniversary Unit. I’ve seen the former a few times and the latter only once.
"This unit is actually meant to commemorate what CN's paint scheme looked like... 5 minutes ago" ah, 5 minutes ago, that was so long ago that I can barely remember it! good job CN for even making a heritage unit for this forgotten era!
My local railroad in Kentucky has units painted for the UK and Cardinal sports teams and units painted to honor the U.S Veterans. The railroad is Paducah & Louisville you should do a video on them and their special unit locomotives.
Come on Kathryn Farmer and Warren Buffet, do some heritage units, particularly a fleet of blue and yellow and red and silver Santa Fe units! Better yet, just rename yourself Santa Fe and do heritage units for every other railroad component of your system.
Here’s some heritage units BNSF should definitely do. Just like what he said in the video. BNSF needs to paint one of their ES44C4’s into BN Cascade Green, I would like to see them paint another GEVO in the Bluebonnet Livery. I heard some that I would be a great choice for a heritage unit. They should paint one of their AC44C4M’s into the ATSF Red and Silver. Fun fact for those of you that don’t know. BNSF’s fleet of 20 AC44C4M’s are actually rebuilt versions of some their older Dash 9 locomotives that were inherited from the Santa Fe Railway. If they did that. I would love it.
The only heritage unit i like from UP is the Western Pacific, they should have at least painted the rest of the HU's in the actual schemes like SP's scarlet and grey, MP's dark blue, CNW's original yellow and green, and Rio Grande's orange and black. Still disappointed at BNSF's "FNBS" 25th anniversary locomotive
hello The Winnipeg Railway & Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks The Winnipeg Railway & Friends Randy & Heritage Units 7 Heritage Units Canadian National / Veterans &# 3015 Canadian National Veterans #3223 Thanks The Winnipeg Railway Friends Randy
14:10 the scheme for the SP Heritage unit is based off an original SP paint scheme like that seen on their Daylight passenger service and not based on the SP "bloody-nose" paint scheme because the bloody-nose paint scheme looks a bit bland
Well the SP scheme was made to look like the Daylight scheme the SP had before the bloody nose era, yeah? Like the Katy locomotive was that red scheme they had.
it will be a while till i get to see one of these in North America, but i've noticed some railways abroad are taking this practice up too. The Slovak Railways (ZSSK) has around five Class 350 (out of a total twenty) locomotives painted in previous paint schemes that were used from 1974 to 2019. thats just one example, i noticed it in Germany, Poland, Czechia, Austria, Indonesia, Japan, to name a few... i'd deffo like to see it more oftenly as its a piece of history on wheels essentially, its not just nice to see for railfans and nostalgics, but it certainly pays respects to its past. very good video! i subscribed.
Unpopular opinion: the UP steam helpers should be classified as heritage units, engines like SD70Ace #8444 or SD70Mac #4015 technically fit the bil for heritage units, being omages to the older era of railroading being there to show everyone what the work of the men and women at ALCO could make.
I railfan NJ Transit and I've seen almost all of the heritage units. I'm only missing the Erie and Erie Lackawanna. I finally saw 4101 at my local train station last week. My top two have to be 4109 and 4101. 4101 is interesting because the livery it wears is the same as it was when NJT first got it, it then got repainted to the grey with the slanted stripes when NJT overhauled back in the 90's. I'm glad it got repainted back to the original livery. It also retains its original high mounted bell, which most got switched to be below the cab. The bell is also an actual bell, not an e-bell that NJT widely uses now. I took a video of it pulling into my local station and you can see the clapper striking the inside of the bell. The horn it has isn't the best though, I wish it had a cooler horn. My favorite NJT engine though is the Atlas locomotive 4503. I preordered the HO scale model last year and it should be coming later this year.
Hold on… so the term “heritage unit” in North America just means a contemporary loco in a classic livery, not an actual historical loco? How can you get that excited over paint on something modern?
Simply put, it's cause they're more interesting to look at than the regular painted mainline engines, lol. What you guys would consider heritage Units would be what we have running at rail museums I guess, lol.
Thanx for the video. I'm disappointed that BNSF didn't see fit to do some Santa Fe and BN colored loco instead of sticky labels. Guess we can still see a few genuine BN and Santa Fe models around for a year or two until they get scrapped or overhauled. You see the odd original Southern Pacific loco around on UP trains. Nice to see NS doing heritage still and CSX but disappointed there in that it's only a half paint job not all over.
I hope you don't get mad Winnipeg Railfann but Norfolk Southern technically has 21 heritage units. The extra unit is NS 1030. Now even though there is no special paint job it is basically considered the 30th anniversary unit. I've only seen it once but it is still cool and it was supposedly in a picture with its heritage brothers.
I am SO MAD!!! just kidding, yeah I completely forgot about him, kinda skipped it cause it's not really painted in anything special like say, 1073 or something like that lol
13:35 AWWWW YEAHHHHH WE GOT THEM MO-PAC, BEST HERITAGE UNIT IN EXISTENCE, im definitely not biast. MISSOURI PACIFIC BEST RAILROAD TO EVER EXIST, SCREAMING EAGLES AAAAAAAAAAAAA

If Lionel can convince BNSF to paint a new locomotive in the mythical Black Bonnet scheme and make it a reality, that would be great

And that ‘technically’ is that, the D&RGW bought SP, then later bought UP, going with the more known names.
That Maroon and Grey scheme is 🤤
UP’s 6 heritage units are a mix of the railroad’s paint schemes so 1996 for example has a Black Widow Nose and a Daylight side.
Here in Australia, we don't have heratige units like in North America, our heratige units are all original locomotives still in their Australian National schemes (please help GM2, a modified E/F loco, has been in service since 1954)
You you have the ES44ACI and sd70ace in Australia
Interesting detail I noticed was most of CSX's heritage units are numbered after the year that particular railroad started operation.
just when bro said THE MILWAUKEE ROAD 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 6:34
“CPKFC” Now that’s crazy bro! lol 😂
VIA sorta did a heritage unit when you think about it. Lumi paying homage to the turbo train.

Don't forget the Texas Mexican Railway for KCS heritage units. It would be nice to see one. Great video

the up went with the daylight scheme for a reason ya know, that's HERITAGE
Amtrak vets units
I love the mopac heritage unit. My first heritage I ever photographed
would be nice to see a GM&O and/or ICG HU from CN or CPKC
You forgot the BNSF Heritage hoppers, HOW DEAR YOU!!!😡😡😡
OMG LOL true
I think Norfolk Southern enter Penn Central is emerging
I Managed to catch almost all of the CN Heritage Units
Caughted: 8952, 8898, 3023, 3069 and 3115

but there were some Heritage Units involved in wrecks with them ended up being Repaired however CP 7011 after the CPKC Merger was Scrapped after a Derailement.
This was fantastic! 🔥🔥
You forgot about AMTK #66, the original Phase 2 heritage unit that was wrecked in 2016.
Saw a GT locomotive somewhere in Utah
i think bnsf does not make HU is cuz there are so many santa fe and bn locos with their old paint on the line
Yup, that's probably their excuse, lol
You forgot about MMID 2060
Ohh yeah, dang, I like the horn on it too, lol
Yeah, it’s a really nice horn but great video anyway

Amtrak doesn't count. It's not a real railroad.
It's a government psyop lol
"This unit is actually meant to commemorate what CN's paint scheme looked like... 5 minutes ago"
ah, 5 minutes ago, that was so long ago that I can barely remember it! good job CN for even making a heritage unit for this forgotten era!
2:21 It's beacuse BNSF parent company "Berkshire Hathaway" does not have enough money to make these heritage unit's.
Oh yeah, I realized just now. Where’s that coca-Cola train?
The Amtrak ACS-64? they probably drank it, lol
My local railroad in Kentucky has units painted for the UK and Cardinal sports teams and units painted to honor the U.S Veterans. The railroad is Paducah & Louisville you should do a video on them and their special unit locomotives.
BNSF is the only class one that hasn’t done any heritage units. I really don’t believe that H3 units with stickers are heritage units.
Come on Kathryn Farmer and Warren Buffet, do some heritage units, particularly a fleet of blue and yellow and red and silver Santa Fe units! Better yet, just rename yourself Santa Fe and do heritage units for every other railroad component of your system.

SD70s look good regardless of paint.
They even wear cp red well and that paint looks stupid
Hate to break it to you but there's a new CSC CVS whatever the hell heritage unit 1972 family lines
I'm pretty sure the SP paint that they used for the heritage unit was the "Daylight" livery, so that was a real paint scheme.
it will be a while till i get to see one of these in North America, but i've noticed some railways abroad are taking this practice up too.

Technically 4109 is in her original livery.

Does IAIS 516 not count as a heritage unit?
I guess so, I got him in the short I made on the rest of him
