Nostalgia & History > MAC Monday.

In the fall of 2002, three BNSF SD70MAC locomotives lead a southbound loaded coal train on Sterling hill near Willow Springs, Missouri on the BNSF  Thayer North sub.  First clip showing the head end and second clip showing two more SD70MAC units  in distributed power mode  on the rear end.  Lots of dynamic brake will soon be used to hold the speed down as the train decends a grade with 135 cars of coal.

Thanks for lviewing.

Great look back, Ron!  I kind of like the 70MACs in H2 when they were clean and fairly new.

135 loads of coal.  Lots of fuel for EV's...
