Are they under NEW ownership? I heard that they do not belong to Junita any more.

They are still owned and operated by Juniata Terminal.

Bob, remind me I owe you a Million... *L*, Amazing.

Those are beautiful units! When were they repainted PRR? I believe these are 2 of the 5 HEP E8's from Amtrak. Do two others still survive in PRR paint?

They were not just repainted; they were rebuilt inside and out.
5809 in 2000 and 5711 in 2001.

The original E8 "portholes" along the side were replaced as well, having long been eliminated by one of the previous owners.
