Big power comes to the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania's yard in Strasburg, Pennsylvania on the occasion of Conrail Days May 29th to 31st, 2009. Norfolk Southern 7211 is a 5,000 horsepower EMD SD80MAC which had been assembled at Conrail's Juniata engine shops in Altoona, Pennsylvania; one of 17 assembled there. This type represents the peak of power in Conrail days. They are also the biggest power in the current NS roster. I have not photographed a blue SD80MAC but you can find many examples on the web at places like The Conrail Historical Society.
