Not next, but past...
Hard to believe Chessie ran 2102 through Philly, not to mention the excursions with PRR #7001 and #1223.
So... not much equivalents to the DL&W, or PRR E's, or even a shortline like the DL running RS-3's such as this CNJ unit? The only thing I can recall is the SP F unit in eastern WA, though I thought I had heard of a Northern Pacific F unit being restored and used on a shortline? And of course, there is that WP diesel which seems to get out at least once a year, leading a pair of Amtrak P42's.
