7210 is working hard, as the lone helper on C90. Two more 80MACs are up front, leading the coal train upgrade on the West Slope.

The colors explode as 10 80Macs pass!

The NS SD80MAC class leader is followed by nine classmates, westbound on track three... you don't see 50K of HP together like this very often...

A loaded coal drag working upgrade at Nag; this is the rear helper set as the train is going away from me (in the pouring rain!)

A nice set of MAC's head west to retrieve more coal.

The MACs are back again on road service on the Pittsburgh line as they pull 3 Dash 9s behind them, struggling up Carney Hill.

Three 80MACS haul empty hoppers towards the setting sun!

containers and 80MACs roll under the 318 signals

SD80MAC 4590 the "Spirit of Benning" pops out of the tunnel below Maryland Heights with an empty coal train bound for Cumberland.

A rare set of ex-CR 80MAC's (NS 7216 & 7205) pulls NS 145 toward the drawbridge in the flats of Cleveland. Ironically, this was the second set of 80MAC's to come through on the NKP on this day.

Not the way to start a rainy day! Night shift has left day shift a problem. Not much will move until 806 gets lifted out of the pit.

A surprise catch of 6 SD80MACs headed toward Cresson for servicing. After passing by Altoona and seeing the many engines in storage including some 80MACs it was good to catch some on the mainline.... (more)

NS C90 drifts downgrade through Lilly.
