    The SD80MAC could be a locomotive DLC for the Horseshoe Curve DLC to add some diversity in the road locomotives instead of it being full of GEVOs.

    History:
    The EMD SD80MAC is a locomotive built by EMD in 1995. All 30 were built under one order for Conrail (#4100-4128). After the split in 1999 all 30 went to CSX (#800-812, later #4590-4602) and Norfolk Southern (#7200-7216). In 2014 the remaining SD80MACs CSX has were traded to NS (#7217-7228) in exchange for 12 SD40-2s. In 2020 all 29 remaining SD80MACs were retired due to the implementation of PSR and all were auctioned off to Progress Rail and Canadian Pacific for parts. Only 2 remain and they sit in storage in a CPKC yard.

    Specs: the sd80mac.com website has all the specs and dimensions needed.

    I'd love to see these big EMDs in Conrail livery (but that won't happen, unfortunately). It's a pity that the SD80MACs were retired. It seems like NS would have used them as part of their rebuild programs.
