**WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY!** 6/30/09: Once the 7205/08 faded to black and the "Era of the Blue MAC" was officially over, I honestly began losing interest in the SD80MAC's, the ones owned by NS anyway. I mean, they're almost exclusively restricted to local coal service on the South Fork Secondary, so one really doesn't get to see the 5000 HP giants all that much anymore, unless of course you live on the West Slope. BUT, some of them tend to...get LOST occasionally, and thats EXACTLY what we found here when the LAD got the call that the 36A had the 7214 as its leader...WHA WHATTTT!! My opinion on the MAC80's COMPLETELY changed once I heard this thing coming uphill from South Fork, 2 miles away from where we were situated at W, just west of the Summerhill signals. All I had to say was...those things are LOUD man!!! 36A SD80MAC #7214 C40-9W's #'s 9837 / 9170 CP-W - Summerhill, PA NS Pittsburgh Line - MP PT 264.6 "Stillborn" feat. Ozzy Osbourne Black Label Society The Blessed Hellride
