Trivia [ ] As of 2024, only three of Amtrak's heritage units have been damaged beyond repair and retired. Amtrak P42DCs No. 66 (Phase II) and 156 (Phase I) were both wrecked in two separate accidents and later deemed damaged beyond repair. 66 was scrapped in 2018 and 156 was scrapped in 2021, making them the first two Amtrak heritage units to be scrapped.
In November 2024, Amtrak P42DC No. 161 was damaged by a fire in Washington DC. Unfortunately, it was reportedly deemed damaged and burned beyond repair and written off Amtrak's current roster.
Norfolk Southern SD45-2 No. 1700 is the only SD45-2 locomotive on NS's current roster to be designated as a heritage unit.
In 1994, Norfolk Southern GP59 No. 4610 was repainted into a Southern Railway livery and designated as a heritage unit. But in 2012, it was repainted into a special Norfolk Southern Operation Lifesaver livery, thus losing its status as a Norfolk Southern heritage unit.
On December 12, 2021, Norfolk Southern ES44AC No. 8099 struck a rockslide on the tracks and derailed on its left side. Due to the damage it sustained from the derailment, many people thought it was deemed damaged beyond repair. But thankfully, the damage was found to be repairable, as it eventually returned to service on May 10, 2023.
In March 2023, Amtrak P42DC No. 184 was repainted back into the regular Amtrak phase V livery, thus losing its status as an Amtrak heritage unit.
Amtrak P42DC No. 164 was painted into the Phase IV Livery from the Beech Grove Shops, outside Indianapolis, Indiana.
In May 2023, CSX outshopped ES44AH No. 1827, originally No. 3059, in a Baltimore & Ohio Railroad heritage livery, which was criticized by a bunch of railfans due to the cab area staying painted in YN3C. Units 1869 and 1967 were vandalized but were later repainted back to their heritage liveries.
In 2024, Amtrak F40PH NPCU No. 406 was renumbered to 90406 to avoid duplication with the new Siemens ALC-42 Charger locomotives.
Norfolk Southern 4851, the Tennessee, Alabama, & Georgia Railway (TAG) unit, was released in December 2024 and is still in service today.
Norfolk Southern 1073 is the unluckiest heritage unit, not Norfolk Southern 1070. Rumors of Norfolk Southern 1070 being the unluckiest heritage unit are not true.
