An ex-MGA Super Seven leads a fleet of Pittsburgh Division local power on a move to Conway for weekend servicing.

Several former Monongahela Super Sevens lead a loaded coal train through the college town of California, PA.

Ex-Monongahela "Super 7" 4096 hustles a freight hammerhead style south towards Morgan Run. If anyone knows what train this was, I'd appreciate the info.
