Today a Tucson-Phoenix lumber train with a new GEVO on the point of a 3-unit consist (the horns really do sound like "BLAT", I like them, they're pleasantly different from the garden K3LA), an AC4400CW in the middle, and an 85xx SD90MACH on the end (sounds like a GE). The last "car" on the train was in fact an 8000 class SD9043MAC.

This is the first time I've seen one of the big EMDs (the MACH).

I thought NS did because of conrail & NS has most of conrail engines. They do have SD80. I thought that NS has SD90MACK engines from conrail split.

Conrail never had a SD90MAC only UP and CP and leasing company. The highest they had was a SD80MAC before they folded.

The 844 for the last time (until the next time [;)] ) as it departed NLR. It was nice to see it again. But it is sad to see it go. [;)] [^] [:(]

A Rock Island covered hopper on CSX. I wasn't close enough to read the current reporting marks, just the big 'THE ROCK" lettering. Nostalgia....
