Knowing Heritage Unit 184 was on 97 yesterday, I expected just a regular unit to be leading 97 today. Much to everyone's surprise, when 822 appeared, everyone was a little surprised. I don't think we've ever had two different heritage units within two days here, which made for certainly a rare catch

    My Wife & I rode behind this unit (#822) AND Amtrak 156 (pointless arrow heritage unit) on the Southwest Chief on our return trip from California in 2014. I thought it was pretty neat to have two heritage units on the point of our train: http://northamericabyrail.info/california-state-railroad-museum/1109-amtrak-p40dc-822-on-the-point-of-the-southwest-chief-albuquerque-nm-2/
