MARC's AEM7 back in service?

On another board, someone mentioned MARC's AEM7s were back in service. Has anyone seen them to confirm? If so are they on any predictable trains?

4901 and 4902 are definitely back in service and have been for about 2 months or so. 4900 may also be in service. See the AEM-7 thread for full info and a few pics: http://www.railroad.net/forums/viewtopi ... 64&t=62116

Also, here's a video I got of them double-heading: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW6wSWqiDoM

MARC switches around locomotives, particularly the electrics, quite often. They're usually used on the 7 and 8 car trains though. Usually either trains #530/411 or 428/513 are powered by one.
