A Sunday Afternoon "Heritage Encounter" (NS 8114)
I've seen this unit before, but it led on my second encounter. Norfolk Southern ES44AC #8114 displays the colors of the original Norfolk Southern Railway . I got word this afternoon that it was leading a westbound baretable train on BNSF Railway's Chillicothe Subdivision. There are advantages living close to a major mainline and this is one of them. Video shot just east of Princeville. My first encounter occurred on August 9, 2013 on Norfolk Southern Train D46. Second unit behind NS 2700, the 22-car train was departing East Peoria for the return trip to Normal. Video (above) shot in East Peoria, at Farmdale Trestle, Goodfield and Carlock. - David P. Jordan
