| With the effects of PSR coming into a noticeable full swing, many fans tend to now avoid the Chicago Line because lots of the older or foreign power that once ran trains have now been changed out with the newer GE and EMD power. However, this one is one of the oddball. An SD70MAC leader on westbound Detroit Edison Coal Empties NS 881. STILL in its former BN Cream n Green Paint. The first one of these that Ive shot leading a train in several years. The SD70MACs are not as old as some of the power that used to and still runs this line on occasion, but as PTC requirements grow, a lot of these have been sidelined. But every so often, one or two seem to sneak out and be put on the lead of trains. This one was an exception, and easily the catch of the day. I framed with with the hidden Millersburg Grain elevator, as most of the leaves had not changed in this spot yet. |
