thank you very much Mister Nutbar. your photo is very nice as well. when was it taken and what kind of locomotive is that? locomotive identification is not my strong point.
Hi Todd---I wish I had kept better records of my photographs so I'm unsure of the date the photo was taken---I'm guessing maybe Oct.92.I did a little bit of searching and found out #6512 was a SD-50 built 07/84.It is still on the NS roster as re-built SD-40 E #6302.Here's another shot of her in her original number---maybe someone has a shot in her present number
Hello --- I couldn't find the 6302,but here's a couple of her sisters taken at Horseshoe Curve during a railfanning trip I took with Doctor Wayne this past June
Went to south fork the other day and got these photo's. To my surprise most if not all the SD80MAC's were down there. I took some photo's of the area. Didn't want to get to close that way I didn't get into trouble. I stopped right at the no trespassing sign.

That's great charlie. The macs have been in portage since last december. They are always the ones pulling the coal trains out. Never seen a Dash 9 on them trains leaving portage.

Every time I see an NS locomotive I'm reminded of railfan criticisms of the Penn Central's "black dipped" scheme. Maybe if they'd added a few white stripes to their units back then they'd have been more popular.

You're probably right, Ralph, but they had more red ink than they did white paint.
