Heritage Railroad Y101 & 102 pose next to each other before both shoving back to Portal 8.
The 9553 is a General Electric U23B built as Louisville & Nashville 2817 in March of 1975. It would eventually wind up its Class 1 career with successor company CSX in maintenance-of-way service before being acquired by Vintage Locomotives, Incorporated.
Clinchfield 800 is special in that is was the first diesel-electric built for the Clicnhfield Railroad in 1948 as an F3. It was later rebuilt to F7 specs in 1953 & would continue to serve the Clinchfield & eventual successor company CSX into the 90s before being donated to the C&O Historical Society (why them, I don't know). The engine was eventually acquired by Vintage Locomotives, Inc. via a trade in 2016 & restored to its as-delivered scheme in 2017 to lead the 75th Santa Train on the Clinchfield. The engine has traveled to several railroads since & now resides on Oak Ridge, TN.
