This is one of our best catches to date!
On April 15, 2021 we got word that NS 8099 the Southern Heritage unit was leading NS train 206. We arrived at Downing Avenue to see NS train 309 sitting in the siding. It had an awesome lashup on it with a pair of CP units behind the 3 NS units. Sitting on the storage track there were 2 MBTA F40PH-2Cs that had been gutted and placed on TPDX flatcars. They had been sitting there for days so we really didn't think anything of it. As we got out of the car, the locomotives started moving without the rest of the train behind it which could mean only one thing- they were picking up the MBTAs. After they completed the switching move, they sat on the siding track to wait for 206. About 10 minutes later, the headlight of 206 came off of the large bridge over the Bayfront Connector with 8099 leading as advertised. Shortly after 206 went by, 309 got clearance to depart west.
