The gel trains are currently running every evening except Saturday. They will probably run through November or until most leaves have fallen.

Any idea if they're being preserved or are destined to be parts donors? I know that both are missing their prime movers but could potentially be returned to cab car service.

Seems odd a Virginia RR historical society would buy rusted out shells of an ex B&O and ex SP&S locomotive for preservation.

Thank god for the lease on life. I hope they find a way back to LI. We don't have any powerpacks preserved.

They have been gone from Wayne Junction for a week.

Did they begin their journey south?

Yes...to the Centennial Track at Roberts Yard, where they will be cut up. The sale fell through. I have no further info.
