Amazing app! Really helpful for railfanning. My request is that you add Amtrak P32-8BWH units to the list. That would be great! Thanks!

I like the app and website. The only msjor drawback is you have to wait and depend on others to provide updates on where the heritage units are or you can miss them altogether. If each had GPS on them then it be much easier

I have used this app and the website for railfanning for over 2 years now, both trackside and for webcams. It is very helpful, but not all the time, thanks to jerks who want to post fake reports, which is a big downside for HeritageUnits. Overall, it is a great app. I like how you can pick certain locomotives to track in the "Latest Locations" section (actual heritage units, BNSF Warbonnets, CSX emblem units, etc). Very useful app.

Awesome app! I do wish that they would add the New Haven P32 units (Metro-North) and P32 #213, Metro-North's only named P32. Great app!

Bumping back up as the website lists steps tip fix this issue (they might want to add that here as well). Clearing the cache seems to fix the error in the app. Leaving original content below on case others hit this issue. ************************************************* Great when it worked. Now all I get is the HU.Managers.ApiException error like the others. App hasn't worked now in a few weeks. Multiple installs and reinstalls with no change. Hope this gets corrected soon.

About this app

Track and report Heritage units (locomotives) and other special interest units for Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific, CSX, BNSF, CN, CP and other railroads.

Features:

• View reported locomotives within a configured mile radius of your devices location.
• Report a new locomotive location directly from the app
• View locomotives on google maps
• Setup android notifications to alert you when a newly reported locomotive has been recorded on the site.
All recorded locomotive information is provided by volunteers using native apps and website (https://heritageunits.com)

If you need assistance, please go to https://www.heritageunits.com/main/contact

Explanation of why various permissions are needed:

• The "Location" permission is required so that the app can determine your location to find locomotives near you, assist during recording a new report and center the map on your position and allow for submission of new reports. The app first attempts to determine your location via the network, if that fails the app then tries to determine your location via GPS.

• The "Wi-Fi connection information" permission is needed so that the app can determine whether or not Wi-Fi is enabled and whether the app is currently using that connection.

• The "Device ID & call information" permission is needed by the app (but only if your device is running Android 2.x or higher). Encoded to store only a partial ID during reporting; it is used to validate a user's account has not be compromised
