Reading Pacific

            Norfolk Southern 1067, the Reading Heritage Unit, is in charge of manifest train MG3AH  as it rolls past the famous JB Tower in West Chicago, IL, on this very cold and windy April afternoon.  Prior to 2022, foreign leaders had been forbidden on the Union Pacifc's Geneva Sub due to ATC Cab Signal requirements.  Once PTC went into full effect on the Geneva, then it became anything goes.  While foreign leaders are still rare, they do happen with a decent frequency.  Rarer still though is catching a foreign Heritage Unit, such as 1067 here.  I believe this was the unit's 2nd round trip leading on the Geneva since PTC started, but what makes this trip special is 1067 is looking resplendent having emerged from the paint shop just days before, and is on one of its first revenue runs after being cleared for service.
