A former Conrail SD80MAC is the lead unit for NS train 297 moving past Tower 2 at Old Union Depot Interlocking on Track 79 of the KCT North-South Corridor with autoracks bound for UP's Armourdale Yard. Before UP adopted PSR and Armourdale still handled automotive traffic, NS ran about two daily, or at least almost daily, autorack trains over there. 297 and 239 both interchanged with the UP at Armourdale, while 33J, a manifest, ran to 18th St. Yard.
EMD's SD80MAC acheived 5,000 HP from a 20 cylinder 710G prime mover. Only 30 SD80MACs were ever built, with two being demonstrator units. The remaining 28 were production units all purchased by Conrail. This SD80MAC, NS No. 7219, was originally built as CR No. 4107 in 3/1996, and it was one of the 28 production units. When Conrail was split between NS and CSX in 1999, NS got 17 of these units and CSX got the remaining 13. The 4107 went to CSX and became CSXT No. 802, and then later repainted and renumbered to CSXT No. 4592. It was announced in 2014 that all the SD80MACs on CSX's roster would be traded to NS for 23 SD40-2s, and this deal was complete in March of 2015. A month, they were delivered to NS, and this one, the NS No. 7219, was painted into NS colors in May of 2015.
The NS No. 7219 is razor blades, now. In February of 2020, just about two years after I took this photo, NS retired its entire remaining fleet of 29 SD80MAC's. Six were sold to CP for use as parts sources for SD70ACU rebuilds, while the rest were sold to Progress Rail and later scrapped.
As for the trailing units, the NS SD70M-2 No. 2710 was sold to Progress Rail in 2021. The SD70M-2's, which were once very common on the NS, are basically a rarity now, as only 46 remain on the roster, yet currently stored. The KCS and UP units are still active are working system wide on their respective roads. 1/28/18.

The People Mover in Venice is an automated elevated shuttle train. This is the Tronchetto island with a car parking facility and in four minutes you reach the major transportation hub of the city with the shuttle (via a station in the port for the big cruise ships). Venice has to cope with huge traffic volumes, not least due to the fact that the city attracts 15 million tourists every year.
The system has two trains pulled by a cable similar to a funicular (but with shallow gradients track). Each of the two trains can accommodate 200 passengers. They meet at the station in the port, the only part with two tracks.
The stations were designed by the Venetian architect Francesco Cocco. He was also responsible for the design of the two bridges crossing two canals.
The line was built by a consortium led by the Austrian company Doppelmayr Cable Car.
