Viewing Album:  Heritage Trail/Fail
 
By:Jacob Werling
Dates:1/9/2021 - 1/9/2021
Album Info:Went up to Butler on this cloudy morning to shoot the new EJE Heritage Unit leading an eastbound oil train on the Waterlevel Route. However, the train began to experience PTC troubles and they decided to tack on a PTC compliant leader in Elkhart instead of Bellevue. While it wasn't leading, I'm happy I got to see it, along with some other catches. Enjoy!

NS 8016
Title:  NS 8016
Description:  This morning I saw that CN 3023, the brand new EJE Heritage Unit, was leading NS 66R across the Chicago Line. In order not to miss it, I went up early this morning to get a place set up around the Butler area. Upon my arrival, NS 18M was creeping east through town.

NS 4393
Title:  NS 4393
Description:  NS 4393 brings up the middle of NS 19M. Apparently NS 4393 was dead and since the train was way underpowered, they would be moving relatively slow until they made it to Elkhart.

INE 2230
Title:  INE 2230
Description:  Unfortunately while looking at various Facebook updates about NS 66R, I read that a PTC Compliant Leader for out east had been added to the front end in Elkhart due to PTC issues with CN 3023. Since I had no real interest in it anymore, I decided to make the most of seeing something special. I went up north to Edon, OH where I ran into the INER working the Edon Grain Elevator with one of their GP30s and one of their SD40-2s.

CP 8051
Title:  CP 8051
Description:  Despite being perturbed about the engine not being on the point, I decided I might as well see it anyway. I started making my way back toward Edgerton when I heard the crew of CP 147 crackle over the radio. I stopped just west of Blakeslee to see it roaring west on the Wabash through the countryside.

NS 7693
Title:  NS 7693
Description:  Since the train was still quite a ways to the west I made it back into Indiana and set up shop on the overpass west of Butler. A westbound stack train showed up first (I want to say NS 21J but Im not completely sure).

NS 7270
Title:  NS 7270
Description:  And finally the moment I had been waiting for all morning arrived. Just not with the correct leader of course. At least it was an SD70ACu and not another GEVO. NS 66R rolls into Butler with a NS/CN/GECX consist.
