    Very nice video!! I was so tempted to buy some of those 80s Macs but I have collected a ton of motive power for the mid 80s so I could still run my collection of cabooses!! I grew up next to the former Big 4 Dow line from Anderson Indiana to Elkhart yards and saw the transition from NYC to PC then Conrail!!! Go Big Blue!!!
