8/8/09: The West Slope of Norfolk Southern's Pittsburgh Line across Pennsylvania has ALWAYS been a line full of coal business, local and run through. But there's ONE drag that sets itself apart from all the rest. The one coal train that EVERY Pittsburgh Line railfan knows and loves...thats right, the eastbound loaded drag 536. This is the only drag on the line where you are almost GUARANTEED a lashup of blue ex-CR power...and are most CERTAINLY guaranteed a 4-Banger of helpers on the rear. And thats EXACTLY what happened on August 8th, 2009, when 3 blue SD60I's swung a 536 around the curve in Portage, with a 4-Banger of brand new SD40-E's shoving hard over the detectors with everything they had. With 3 road units notched to their fullest and even MORE horsepower notched on the rear and the train STILL manages to crawl...yea, thats a classic-heavy 536 for ya! 

(and to everyone who doesn't know em, the music in this vid is by none other than the band where I take my YouTube name from, the mighty Alice In Chains)
