Only commenting on typical Harmon operations not who is employee or not. Typically any equipment leaving property visits spot tracks for inspection. Harmon yard tends to move things back and forth for no reason, ya know typical MNR stuff.

225 has been north of the shop for at least a month now. However, wasn't sure of its status.

It'll be nice if the 225 goes for rebuild. We're definitely hurting for equipment bad.

Actually they moved the 225 to 134. Hopefully, it will be sent out this week.

225 in the Croton West yard today. It looked like it was coupled to the CSX engines, but no crews visible. This was the best angle I could get from the water front park and the boxcars that were stored nearby. You can see some work was done by Metro North to get road worthy to be towed to GE..Overall it looked better than I thought it would

Nice photo. It will be moved to the northern end of the yard with the batch of cars set to go to Selkirk so that Q704 can pick it up.

225 is still in Croton West Yard as of this evening.

in words of Don Nelson, former MN president "we do not cater to losers in rail industry" why would we honor those railroads that left us a mess to begin with ??

In the railroads current state and public outcry for better service/reliability, a heritage program is a pipe dream folks. It was a funny April Fools joke but lets not hijack this forum for fantasy speculation please.
