Remarks: Having arrived within the past hour or so with coal loaded at the mine near Central City, PA, the C90 wastes no time getting it out to the customer. We watch as the coal drag crosses Maple St. and enters the west leg of the wye at South Fork, PA, to head west on the mainline. If you listen to the radio chatter, you can hear a 2nd coal drag, the C91/7216 at the south end of the yard asking to use the running track. Dispatcher tells him he is "OK on the runner, the C90/7206 is getting ready to depart" They're movin' a lot of coal on the South Fork Secondary these days! (Note the Conrail blue MAC, 7205)

It's nice to see (and hear) that this SD80MAC not only has its original Leslie RS3L, but that all three bells are working loud and properly!

I didn't even know NS had SD80MAC'S on thier roster !!!!!! Are those 3 ex Conrail Locomotives ?

Posted by Joseph ODonnell on June 18, 2008

Yes, they are former Conrail units. A good web site for info and pictures of Norfolk Southern locos is www.nslocos.com
