January 10th, 2021...a day that will live forever in the memory of Pittsburgh's railfans...until the next time a CN heritage unit appears, which will probably be March. After tracking the arrival of the newish EJ&E heritage unit in its first trip to Pittsburgh two days earlier, I received word via Facebook that the pair were scheduled to depart on NS 67R. Though I missed the ST70AH trailing on a rare 18A (thanks to Addicted to Trainz for that footage, which will go up soon), I was able to stick around to catch the rare heritage unit and rarer GECX prototype ET44AC (note the differing hoodlines on the ET44ACs) in the golden hour, along with about 6 or 7 other folks. I hope you enjoy this and some other catches from my recent trips to Rochester; let me know what you think of the new "premium" video intro!
