No way man, you've got it all wrong: they're buying SD80MACs from NS. NS wants to standardize the fleet and doesn't want those 20-cylinder oddballs mucking everything up.

They'll be painted at Altoona before they head north: http://www.trainweb.org/southpenn/image ... 205000.gif

That Facebook page isn't actually owned/operated by Pan Am, as far as I can tell. Reader beware. :wink:
