Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS SD80MACs free to roam?Date: 02/22/15 09:29 NS SD80MACs free to roam? Author: SOU3921 Seems like over the past month some of the SD80MACs have been freed from captive PA service and roaming the system. I assume this is due to the arrival of the NS SD90MACs and shop forces being for familiar with ACs now. Anybody know anything offical?

Author: CR4114 No they are still assigned to South Fork Secondary and Trash Train Service, but due to the number of trains that are being held for power around the system...they are probably getting put on just about anything to get a train moving, which is why they may be roaming the system more then they normally would be.

7203 was out this way earlier in the week. It pulled 255 to Kansas City and I think was trailing on 20T eastbound.  Date: 02/22/15 16:40 Re: NS SD80MACs free to roam? Author: dharmadrummer Don't worry, we still have plenty in Pennsylvania. 7210 and 7201 were on 11A this morning when it struck a vehicle at a crossing.

Much deeper, the coolest prime mover sound out there now. Davis Date: 02/23/15 14:21 Re: NS SD80MACs free to roam? Author: NSDTK Over on youtube there's a video of a 20 cylinder 710 engine in a power generation application running from idle to wide open. While not in a locomotive its still the same engine.
