From Wallace Henderson…

I was in Paducah today and the long rumored transfer of SD70MACs from CSX to the P&L has finally occurred. Lined up in on a siding across from the P&L shops were eight units, all but one in the new dark blue scheme. The numbers are 4502-4510-4512-4516-4517-4518-4519-4520, built by GMD in 1997. They were all originally numbered in the 700 series but were changed to 4500 after the purchase of ES44AC-Hs in 2007, which took the 700 series numbers.
