The ones that went to the NS are operating in the coal fields in SW PA.

Dear Morpar,
My namee is Jonathan, and im 14.....as far as of what I read Conrail's SD80MACS are in the shops(which ones I dont know). To me it seems as if Norfolk Southern is too scared to use high HP locomotives. I hope I somewhat answered your question!
