An SD80MAC leads NS 11V west on the Pittsburgh Line between Birmingham and Tyrone. In their final years of active service these engines broke out a bit more from their normal South Fork pool and often led trains on various parts of the NS systems. The 7214 was originally Conrail 4126 and was retired in 2020.

They looked better than they tasted.
Our server warned us that they weren't very good but we insisted anyway. At least I got a picture out of them.
Green Day - Waiting

I've been waiting a long time
For this moment to come, I'm
Destined for anything at all
Downtown, lights will be shining
On me, like in a diamond
Ring out under the midnight hour
Well, no one can touch me now, well
And I can't turn my back, it's
Too late, ready or not at all
Well, I'm so much closer than
I have ever known
Wake up!
Dawning of a new era calling
Don't let it catch you falling
Ready or not at all
Oh, so close enough to taste it
Almost, I can embrace this
Feeling on the tip of my tongue
Well, I'm so much closer than
I have ever known
Wake up!
Better thank your lucky stars
Say, hey, hey
Well, I'm so much closer than
I have ever known
Wake up!
You better thank your lucky stars
Say, hey, hey!
I've been waiting a lifetime
For this moment to come, I'm
Destined for anything at all
Dumbstruck, color me stupid
Good luck, you're gonna need it
Where I'm going, if I get there at all
Wake up!
And better thank your lucky stars
I feel almost compelled to take about 100 pictures of "Big Mac", the Mackinac Bridge, every time I go "Up North". The 5 mile long bridge is an engineering marvel. The roadbed at midpoint is about 200 feet (61 m) above the water, and the water at that point is 295 feet (90m) deep. When it was completed in 1957, it was the world's longest suspension bridge.
The bridge connects the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of Michigan. Previous to it's construction, ferry boats were used to cross the Straits of Mackinac.
Note: Mackinac Bridge and Mackinaw City, although spelled differently are both pronounced "Mack-in-aw".

The Devlins - Crossing The River

Something tells me I can trust in you
There's no pretense in the things you do
So much water under this bridge
And I'm standing here at the water's edge
Looking into your eyes
I'm crossing the river to get to you
I'm crossing the river
Crossing the river
You had the longing of a broken heart
Shined your light in a room that was frozen dark
Looking into your eyes (yeah yeah)
Looking into your eyes
I'm crossing the river (crossing the river) to get to you
I'm crossing the river (crossing the river)
And this time I'll make it through
With your faith and your arms open wide
I see you there on the other side
Crossing the river, of fear and pride
There's no turning back, I know
I've come so far and I've got so far to go
I'm crossing the river (crossing the river) to get to you
I'm crossing the river (crossing the river)
And this time I'll make it through (oh yeah)
With your faith and your arms open wide
I see you there on the other side
Crossing the river, of fear and pride (of fear and pride)
