Those are E8's. Conrail used them on their business trains all across the system until they were sold to a private owner and restored back to PRR colors.

The MAC's meet a westbound double stack while waiting for the clear signal to move east.

Caught these the other day. A old Chessie System in lilly, pa & SD80MAC #7200 at south fork, pa. It has been way to hot to go out railfanning here the past couple of days. I am going to try to get out tomorrow and get some pictures around the Portage Area of the different railroad buildings and get some pictures of the trains working the mountain.

Has anyone been out lately or has the weather been to hot? It reached 94 here today.
