Also, a 19th heritage unit has been added! An additional GEVO will be painted as a Penn Central unit:

well..the drawing alone is not evidence that there will be a PC unit..
that could have been up on the webpage for months, from the beginning of the heritage project when it was perhaps "under consideration"
and someone just discovered it hiding there..
Is there more to the PC rumor besides the drawing? anything recent in writing?

As far as I know, the PC unit was not with the other 18 when the initial press release and images went online. This seems to be a recent addition.
Ok, now it's official.
NS put out a press release this morning about the first heritage unit to hit the rails, 8098 "Conrail." It also announces that a Penn Central unit has been added to the 18, and it will be an "SD70Ace to be painted at Progress Rail Services’ facility in Muncie, Ind." Meanwhile, the "original" Norfolk Southern unit has been changed to an ES44AC, to make room for the PC unit.
The press release also includes "the official" NS photo of 8098 (you can click it to enlarge). Here's a link to the article:
