With New Haven being pulled into PC...then Conrail...why did NS not offer a NH Heritage Unit?

Possibly because they already exist at ConnDot:

Here's are 2 more shots of MetroNorth/ConnDot NH locos in the New Haven yard:

My son took these from the platform in New Haven about 2-3 years ago.

I think that the other reason why NS didn't do a New Haven heritage unit is that NS doesn't operate any ex-New Haven trackage.

Stuart that's correct. If I'm not mistaken there was supposed to be more than 20 heritage units (including the New Haven, and Leigh & Hudson River Railroad.) however when Norfolk Southern saw the idea they dropped some and added some. (one of them being the Interstate)
