RUT, AVR Equipment stored in East Barnet, VT

Can anyone give some info on the equipment in this picture? Does it still exist?

Yes, this equipment still exists, right along Route #5 in East Barnet, VT. When I passed there last summer, the grass and weeds had grown up quite a bit and a clear photo like that would not be possible. I have never stopped there and I do not know if the owner permits fans on the property.

What line is this on?How long has the equipment been there?

Here's a posting from railrod.net from 2004 on the East Barnet equipment.

Thanks!

I'm not 100% certain, but I think one of those 44-tonners might end up on the soon-to-be-built Downeast Scenic Railroad in Maine. They mentioned in their last newsletter that somebody was loaning them a 44-tonner.

While that might very well be true,judging from the picture it looks like the 44 tonners are far from operating condition.It looks like some didn`t even have the stairs to get into the cab on them.However,that is just my guess.Anyway would any of those engines be able to operate with some work?
