Just thought I would give a heads up for Indiana of NS Honoring First Responders SD60E #911 leading NS westbound intermodal 205 bound for Chicago and for west of Buffalo NY, to Erie PA and Northeast Ohio of NS Lehigh Valley ES44AC #8104 trailing 2nd on westbound intermodal 23K. The 911 should be nearing Indiana / Ohio border around 2PM to 3PM. As to 8104 reaching the PA / OH border should be around 5 to 6PM, but that's a guess. But anyway, I thought I would give a heads up about these 2 units in case someone is interested.

Lastest location of 911 leading 205 is westbound at Northwood Ohio at 12:51PM.

Lastest location of 8104 trailing 2nd is westbound at Alexander NY at 12:43PM.

Tom, NS 8100 Nickle Plate heritage unit (leading 23Z, also bound for Chicago) was reported in Mattawana, PA at 1:31PM today.  Any guess whether 8100 will make it to Alliance before nightfall?

Greg, from my exprience of trains along the Pittsburgh Line, Fort Wayne line into the Cleveland Line from Horseshoe Curve trains take 6+ hours to get to Alliance area. So because there hasn't been a report around HC yet, it will be well after dark even when he reaches Ohio.

Greg, NKP 8100 just passed through Altoona PA at 4:35PM. So if that's downtown Altoona, it generally takes 20 minutes to get to the curve. So around 4:55 to 5PM he should round the curve. So that puts around 11PM to 1AM at night he'll be through Alliance.

Also you have the HC live railcam.

That Horseshoe Curve railcam is pretty cool. Thanks for posting.

Paul, your welcome. Also I did not see 8104 this evening. I passed because I've already seen 8104 trailing before, but never leading yet. But for the latest location on 911 is Hammond Indiana at 7:56PM and 8104 through Mentor at 7:40PM.
