NS heritage unit 8100 working in Cincinnati

Found on the internet the following picture of NS heritage unit 8100 - NICKEL PLATE ROAD - working behind Cincinnati's Union Terminal (the half dome in the background). 



The Cincinnati Union Terminal is one of the great train stations of America, and it has been preserved by making alternate uses of its space.  Amtrak still stops there, but their small facilities are tucked away in a corner.  Here are two more pictures of the terminal found on the internet.
