NS Penn Central heritage on the former PRR west of Pittsburgh

I actually like the PC livery.  It fit the time when that merger happened.  Too bad the thing fell apart.  This is not the place to discuss that.

The Southern version was hanging around Harrisburg, PA last week, first as a DPU, then as the lead unit.   Was also fortunate to see the Illinois Terminal version earlier this year at Hbg in the early morning mist.  Sorry no pictures, I was driving 18 wheels.  How many are there ?

There are 20 predecessor road schemes split between SD70ACes and ES44ACs. Additionally, there are the Veterans, First Responders and GoRail SD60Es (6920, 911, 6943?); the First Responders GP38-2 (5642), a Portsmouth Belt Lines unit (5260), and Erie-Lackawanna SD45-2 1700. That makes a total of 26 on just NS.

The IT unit is known as the "Glow Worm" among the West Slope railfans.

Nice capture. When I watched the IT run by my house growing up, never thought of calling it a glow worm, still don't.
