Filmed 04/22/14 I've been on a bit of a roll with the Heritage Units the past couple months. Here is the second video I have of UP's Southern Pacific unit #1996. This time, I got it during some nice warm, and very NON-Polar Vortex weather. So no shivering on this one! Met up with Chris (he posted his video a few weeks ago) in Eton, MO and nabbed this one. What's also neat is the lead unit is a brand new SD70AH variant of the ACe. "H" is for "heavy" as these units are several thousand pounds heavier than the standard ACe. But now that I have 1982 leading (refer to my previous video), it's all come down to 1996. I once told Chris that I always felt 1996 was going to be the last of UP's heritage units that I get. Well, as it turns out, it kinda is. It's the last one that I have not filmed leading. I've seen it leading, but it caught me by surprise and I wasn't ready to film it. Well, a year later, I have seen it two more times, just not leading. All the other of UP heritage fleet, I have. So, 1996 is the last one I need leading. I keep saying I'm going to have a club video up, but the one I'm working on is taking a while to edit all together and it will require an overnight rendering session to make it a movie. I'm guessing it's going to be around 15 minutes long. But we'll see. It is going to feature some new equipment and oddly enough (for me anyway) is going to be pretty much all BN/BNSF. So until that club video gets done, I'll keep posting these railfan videos. I have a LOT of them on the way. Next one should be a Norfolk Southern Heritage video. Anyway, as is customary on these Heritage videos, the score board is below... Heritage Score Board: Union Pacific... GOT 'EM ALL! - 1982 (5: Leading**, DPU 2x, Agentine Yard, Leading) - 1983 (3: Leading 3x) - 1988 (4: Leading 2x, 3rd out*, 2nd out) - 1989 (2: Leading & Neff Yard) - 1995 (2: Leading & Neff Yard) - 1996 (3: Leading*, 2nd out, 3rd out) Amtrak... 1 left - 66 (20+: Leading the River Runners) - 156 (10+: Leading the River Runners & 2nd out) - 184 (7: Leading the River Runners & second out) - 822 (1: Leading, though apparently this isn't a Heritage unit, even though it's painted like one. Completely stupid.) Norfolk Southern... 16 to go. - 1066 (1: Leading) - 1069 (1: Argentine Yard) - 8100 (1: 2nd out) - 8104 (1: Avondale Yard) #: number of times I've seen them * notes that unit was not filmed or photographed at that time. ** notes that unit was photographed, not filmed. ---------------------------- Chris' Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/844Train Shane's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/thebrakeman17 ---------------------------- My Stuff: facebook: Railfan Jason - https://www.facebook.com/JasonRS.UP9229 deviantART: UP9229 - http://up9229.deviantart.com/ Train club account: - http://www.youtube.com/user/EJCMRailroadClub/featured EJCM website: - http://easternjacksoncountymainliners.com/ Yahoo group: - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Freelanced_Model_Railroads/
