80MACs at Summerhill

            Norfolk Southern SD80MACs 7200 & 7212 lead 110 loaded hoppers of coal down the west slope of NS's Pittsburgh Line on April 3, 2019. On the rear were three more SD80MACs with NS 7201 bringing up the markers. This was truly an extraordinary sight with five SD80MACs in total doing all the work.

The EMDs and the classic Pennsy position light signals were living on borrowed time. All of the 80MACs were sold off not long after this photograph was taken and the Position light signals were being replaced with a new system that eliminated the need for the automatic signals leaving only the "home signals" in place at control points. The shiny silver cabinet on the right side of the train by the signal bridge was a part of the conversion here at Summerhill. The signal bridge was unceremoniously cut down and removed without a trace a few months later. As for the 80MACs, all were scrapped while their 20 cylinder engines were sold off for marine purposes.
