Thought I would share the photos I got from this past Monday August 29th, 2016 of NS Eastbound Intermodal 20E bound for New Jersey. He was lead by NS Monongahela Heritage ES44AC #8025. I took these from Colony Park Pedestrian Walking Bridge in Hudson Ohio. But I did not want to miss this train on my day off of work. Also this is the first time for me seeing 8025 leading. Also the other photos are from of the other trains and MOW / Maintenance of Way Track Crew.

Yes, it was. On Sunday it went into Chicago on Westbound 21Z which is what you probably saw. I'll bet he was trailing. Most Intermodals if theres a Westbound with a Heritage Unit leading it will come back Eastbound Trailing and that also goes for Eastbounds leading. As you can see, here https://www.heritageunits.com/...motive/Detail/NS8025 which you can keep track of 8025, it's down in Georgia now. That's how most of the time I keep track of the Heritage Units by using https://www.heritageunits.com/ So far I believe I've seen 9 leading. But in total, I've seen 15 of the 20. Thanks regarding about seeing it on the Chesty cam. I watch that sometimes.
..really appreciate those links

Your welcome Willy.
Thanks Tony & Putnam Division for liking my topic.
Also these pictures and videos I did are from Colony Park Trail Pedestrian Bridge. It's a nice view for westbounds coming upgrade into the sunset. Also if you stand directly above the units, you sure feel the heat. But I don't do that often as I've always been afraid that if the exhaust would be to hot. But either way, good thing is, if you have a westbound and eastbound train meet, then you can move to one side of the bridge to capture the first train as I've been to this location once before back on Saturday June 11th, 2016. Here's the video below.
Nice job through the chain link fence...i know with me it can wreak havoc with focus with my camcorder...keep em coming

Thanks Willy. As how I did the filming, I used a tripod and pulled the back legs out so the camera rested against the fence and so I zoom the video a little so you don't see the links. Yes I'll try to keep more videos coming. My next videos will be of the 765 / 767 down on the CVSR.
