Railfanning Norfolk Southern RR Part 2

[LiveSteamer]

I had been talking to my brother lately and the one day while we were texting I seen the east bound trash train coming through Portage. It didn't have the typical power on but instead had SD80MAC's. I had asked my brother about this and he told me NS pulled some MAC's out of storage and assigned them to the trash trains. What MAC's that are not in storage will continue to pull coal drags but will no longer go any further than South Fork, Pa. They do continue to pull the empty coal trains into Portage for loading and take them to South Fork where they sit for a not even a day or up to a few days before heading east. The MAC's will continue to go to Cresson for refueling and sand. I had asked my brother if they were planning on replacing the MAC's because of their age and he wasn't sure about that. It is however nice to see the MAC's doing other jobs than pulling coal drags. If I recieve any more information about the MAC's I will let you all know. Have a good night and a safe upcoming week.
