Rebuild! Supposedly getting their noses chopped and possibly painted.

yup, getting rebuilt. I've heard chopped noses, but not paint. But it would be nice to see both chopped and painted.

Another one for Dansville:

SD45 3614 was heading for New York Locomotive in Dansville for rebuild.

I'll try and get over to Dansville when I get back from Civil Air Patrol encampment, which will be next weekend (I leave friday, and I doubt I can make it out there during the week)

anyone have any idea what it cost to rebuild each loco? just wondering if it would've been cheaper to rebuild them or to maybe lease brand new locos.

what was 3042 doing away??

the 3042 came in from utica on CSX,
so it was either being worked on or was working the now cut off utica side.
