PRR MP-54s

Railroad Museum of Strassburg, Pennsylvania
Delaware & Ulster Rail Ride, Arkville, N.Y.

RMLI is cutting up their remaining two, and the one at Kennebunkport should be cut up.
These old cars just dissolved from corrosion.

On the far side of Greenwich Yard in South Philadelphia, near the water tower west of Pier 122, there are two derelict MP54s; they apparently were/are owned by the Wilmington & Western RR but have not been moved for some time. They're both in very poor condition, unfortunately, but they can be seen from I-95 North. I was able to get some good photos of them:

There's some Septa MP54's up in Milford on the Bel Del on private property.

Where in Milford? Can they be seen from a public area (road, lot, etc)?

They cannot be seen from any public area. They're inside the JCP&L's Gilbert Generating Plant. They're owned by the URHS.

They're not going to be there much longer. Plans are to scrap most of them. One that was cosmetically restored many years ago will be saved and could be moving out of there in the not so distant future. Stay tuned!

Check out the pics of those cars

The one at RRMofPA was scrapped. Which car # will URHS be keeping?
And how about these, oddly in NY Central paint!

And don't forget the Wilmingtom & Western!

They scrapped the one at RRM of PA? When? Why? That's the one that was in PC paint right?

Rust damage, a common problem. See:
