The Wabash Heritage unit is pictured on what is referred to "The Wabash" by all railroad crews in the Buffalo-Fort Erie Region. You'll hear it used often on the radio by both the CN RTC, CN Crews and CSX NG referring to these guys as "The Wabash". Even 20 years ago the same applied but back then only the NG dispatcher called it that.. now everyone does. In case anyone needs a reminder of what the Fort Erie area looked like (Thomson) 50 years ago check out these links (Page). Thanks to a friend in Buffalo that gave me a heads up when these guys were at SK yard and I dropped everything to get here, barely making it on time. I do hope this happens again - by all accounts this is only the 2'nd time and the 1st time it was long hood forward. Feel free to correct the record if you Niagara goons know differently.
