Author: C H
These are some of the sd70MAC(e)'s being reactivated or rebuilt that are visiting my neck of the woods which primarily is North West Wyoming and South Central Montana. Mostly along the Casper Subdivision and Billings area.

first ever sd70MAC to roll into Cody. What a pleasant surprise to see this former BN giant still active
Not as many Bulkheads today at the station
Ive been hearing about more and more sd70MACs being reactivated which fills my heart with joy because they are beautiful locomotives. Some are even being reactivated for coal trains for the PRB
4th different sd70MAC to visit Cody, Wyoming
Positive sign for railroads, I shot this loco in Alliance in early May in a storage line there, now it's back out running.
Been over 10 years since I saw 9661 one last, which was in Walsenburg, CO as a DPU on an MT coal train.

Photographed this guy back in May 16 in a storage line at Alliance, NE. Good to see it that it made it off the storage tracks and is on coal trains like it was in the glory days
