The first of the Norfolk Southern heritage fleet that I saw was at the inaugural Railroad Days at Natural Tunnel State park in Duffield Va, way back in July of 2013.
Since then I've been trying to get a picture of all 20 of them, that was accomplished back in May of 2015 when I finally saw the Norfolk & Western.
Since then I've been trying to catch them all leading a train through Jonesborough. That finally happened a few days ago when I finally caught the Erie leading 202 eastbound at 3rd St. It had led through here a few weeks earlier but it was in the wee hours of the morning, and it had worked as a DPU on return legs, but leading-from-behind doesn't count.
During that time I've several of the new specially painted 4000-series engines, there's only one of those - I'm looking at you 4002 - that I've yet to get a picture of. There's also been several engines with other road names and colorful paint schemes that have passed though on NS rails: the blue and yellow CSX, red and white SOO, bright red of Indiana RR, two with different shades of purple, etc.
