Got tired of waiting for a newer clean SD-70MAC to come into the yard so I had too settle for this one. It's about 8 yrs. old.

Actually they haven't. This paint scheme ran from around '93 to '98. Then they started with the Orange and Green, then the Orange, Yellow, and Silver. I could be a year off. I wanted to get a newer MAC in the shot but sometimes these coal sets will keep the same power for a while. I also got tired of Driving all the way to the other end of the yard when I get off work just to see if an older engine has been repainted. So I settled for this one. ???

Heyyyyy my dad worked for BN for 23 years! How do you like it? he loved going to work, although I think he was gone 3 out 4 days 90% of the time.... Good money if I remember right!

it's good to see the old engines, I remember when I was a kid "sneaking" on and getting flares (we used them to start camp fires)...hehe good ol days!
