Heritage Locomotive Tracker

Bob, That is really cool. Thanks for posting it.

I heard there is an app that Norfolk Southern developed for phones. Not sure if it is Iphone only or Android as well. Anyone have this app?

We have a huge NS Inter-modal yard here in the Bethlehem, PA area so I hope some of these Heritage units will make it this far east.

Jim, The tracker says that NS1065 is headed east today from Pittsburg.

Popsrr...thanks much for the heads up.  Jim

Jim you are welcome. If you see it please take some pictures and post them.

If there was just some way for me to figure out when it might be in this area, that would really help.  Have any suggestions?

Jim (or anyone else in the Allentown area for that matter):

If you're reading, here's your chance to see a heritage locomotive. The 8101, the Central of Georgia unit, was by South Plainfield on westbound 69Q about 45 minutes ago and is headed your way. You may want to head over to the tracks and see if you can get a look.

Good luck,

Bob   

Thanks so much Bob...missed it my mere minutes!!  Really appreciate your help.  Jim

Jim thats too bad I was hoping you would get some pictures to share.

Hi, Jim.

No problem. The next opportunity is at hand. The 8114, wearing the livery of the original Norfolk Southern, was out of Buffalo today at 11AM. It is on 13T which terminates at Allentown. I'd expect the train to arrive in Allentown sometime during the overnight hours. The only question is the length of time the unit will lay over prior to being dispatched back out. It might be worth a look in the morning.

Good luck,

Bob  

Any NS Heritage diesel would be a treat to see...

But CNJ 1071 is the one for me!

The NS Corp does have a tracking app available for both Android and iPad/iPhones.  Look HERE  and look at the top of the page for links. 

iPhone/Pad version looks likes this:

Unfortunately, the Android version of the NS app does not have two of the buttons - protect us and the Heritage Locomotive tracker. I already had the NS Corp app on my Android phone, and didn't realize until now the tracker part was not included in this version.

Gives me another reason to convert to the Iphone now that I am eligible for a new phone on my plan.
