CSX Coal Train with SD80MAC


Title:
CSX Coal Train with SD80MAC

Description:
American Electric unit train with Conrail SD80MAC passes through what's left of the Dent Yard in Cornettsville, Ky. At one time the Dent Yard on the L&N EK sub. was used to combine the strings of hoppers from various mine runs in the area. I paced this train off and on from Letcher County. It also had a caboose on the end of it. I stuck a video response on this page for the short clip that shows the caboose.

Back In Black - The 80MAC Shuffle
Once the evening's drama subsided (and the dispatcher presumably went for some Tylenol), the oddball SD80MAC/Top Gon/SD80MAC/SD60I consist went about its business of shuffling back and forth doing seemingly nothing in particular.

A Whole Lotta Empty
Two matched pairs of Dash 8-40Cs and sd80macs lead every CR Bethgon from the eastern half of the state through Horseshoe Curve on August 8, 1996. Okay, maybe that's exaggerating a little but sheesh that train was long... Trivia: this was my first time ever seeing the SD80MAC in action. I'd always thought the 8-40Cs were pretty big but the trailing 80macs just dwarfed them.

There are 4 units on the front: ES44DC, SD40-2, AC44CW, and SD80MAC in the front! And5 GP38 engines in the back! That was a very very long long coal train
Nice Power on Waiting Manifest!
This was a nice consist! We were lucky to catch it where it was too. The last engine in the consist is my first ever CSX SD80MAC, there are two CSX GP38-2's in front of it, a UP C41-8W in front of them, a HLCX SD40-2 in front of it, and for the lead engine, CSX 4790 (SD70AC). A few minutes earlier, CSX 7492 and 7729 passed by with Q151-04.

Norfolk Southern 517 with SD80MAC Pair
January 26, 2008: NS 517 with NS SD80MAC pair 7206 and 7212 head through CP Prescott on the NS Harrisburg Line. 7206 gives some nice Leslie RS3L for the East Street crossing. sd80mac's rarely leave South Fork/Altoona and this is the second time in a week that this pair is on the Harrisburg Line.
