Sit this one out Virginian
NS 1069, the Virginian Heritage Unit warms the bench while the 1068, the Erie Heritage Unit runs the bases in charge of train 17N (Conway, PA to Elkhart, IN, manifest) through downtown Corunna, Indiana on NS' ex-LS&MS/NYC/PC/CR Chicago Line.
The 1069's rear truck had set off the defect detector in Brimfield while serving as the lead unit of train 26W a few days prior, and it was eventually decided by all involved its trip was over.
Both the 1068 and 1069 are SD70ACe's and were built by EMD not far away in Muncie, Indiana for NS in May of 2012 as two of their original heritage units.
NS 8419 that's riding second out on 17N is a C40-8W and began life as CR 6230, built by GE for Conrail in June of 1994.
