  The combination of the ionization energy loss (dE/dx) from Time Projection
Chamber (TPC) at $\simeq8$% resolution and multi-gap resistive plate chamber
time-of-flight (TOF) at 85$ps$ provides powerful particle identification. We
present spectra of identified charged pions from transverse momentum
$p_T\simeq0.2$ GeV/c to ~7-8 GeV/c in Au+Au collisions at
$\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=62.4$ GeV. Physics implications will be discussed.
